Question

Graph the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin.

Use the polygon tool to graph the dilated figure.

Answer 1

Answer: (3, 3), (3, 9), (-6, 9), (-6, 3)

Explanation:

With a dilation of 3 centered about the origin-

the point (1, 1) would go to (3, 3)

the point (1, 3) would go to (3, 9)

the point (-2, 3) would go to (-6, 9)

the point (-2, 1) would go to (-6, 3)

simply multiply the original coordinates all by 3.
