Question

What is the image of (3,0) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/3 centered at the
origin?

Answer 1

Answer is ( 1, 0 )

Step by step

Since the dilation is centered at the origin, the image of any point (x,y) after applying a dilation of scale factor "k" is the point (Kx, ky).

So ( 3, 0 ) becomes ( 1/3 * 3, 1/3 * 0 )

Multiply

Answer is ( 1, 0 )
