Question

If point P (-4,6) was dilated by a scale factor of 2.5 what are the coordinates of P

Answer 1

• ( - 10, 15)

Explanation:

Dilation of point (x, y) by a scale factor k results in the point (kx, ky).

Given

• Point P(- 4, 6),
• Scale factor k = 2.5.

Coordinates of the image are

• P' = (-4*2.5, 6*2.5) = ( - 10, 15)
