Question

Dilate the figure by the scale factor. Then enter the new coordinates. A(0,2) K=10 A’([?],[ 1) 2013,21 B'([],[] ’) C'([][]) . B(-2) C(-1,-4)

Answer 1

given the following:

A(0, 2)

B(3, -2)

C(-1, -4)

we are asked to find the new coordinates with a scale factor of 10

in other to get new coordinates, we will have to multiply the given coordinates by the dilation factor.

This implies that you multiply all the coordinates by the dilation factor, which you are increasing all the distance from the origin by the scale factor.

10(0, 2) --------> (0, 20)

10(3, -2) --------> (30, -20)

10(-1, -4) ---------> (-10, -40)

so the new coordinates are:

A' (0, 20)

B' (30, -20)

C' (-10, -40)
