Question

Point P has the coordinates (−2,−4)

. Point P is dilated with a center at the origin and a scale factor of 3 to create point P'. What are the coordinates of point P'?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The coordinates of Point P' is (-6,-12)

You must multiply the x coordinate by the factor of 3. Then multiply the y coordinate by the factor of 3. That is how you dilate a scale factor. Hope it helped!
