Question

What is the image of (-8,-7) after a dilation by a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin?

Answer 1

The image is (-16,-14)

Explanation:

Given

Represent the point with A

`A = (-8,-7)`

`Scale\ factor = 2`

Required

Determine the image (A')

The image is calculated as:

`A' = A * Scale\ factor`

`A' = (-8,-7) * 2`

So, we have:

`A' = (-8* 2,-7* 2)`

`A' = (-16,-14)`

Hence, the image is (-16,-14)
