Question

Write a rule to describe this transformation. A) Dilation of 1/2 about the origin B) Dilation of 0.25 about the origin C) Dilation of 0.5 about the origin D) Dilation of 1.5 about the origin

Answer 1

A) Rule for a dilation of 1/2 about the origin:

For each point (x, y), after the dilation, the new coordinates will be (0.5x, 0.5y).

B) Rule for a dilation of 0.25 about the origin:

For each point (x, y), after the dilation, the new coordinates will be (0.25x, 0.25y).

C) Rule for a dilation of 0.5 about the origin:

For each point (x, y), after the dilation, the new coordinates will be (0.5x, 0.5y).

D) Rule for a dilation of 1.5 about the origin:

For each point (x, y), after the dilation, the new coordinates will be (1.5x, 1.5y).
