Question

How can you describe the effect of a dilation on coordinates using an algebraic representation?

Answer 1

When a dilation in the coordinate plane has the origin as the center of dilation, you can find points on the dilated image by multiplying the x- and y-coordinates of the original figure by the scale factor.
