Question

Which graph shows the result of dilating this figure by a factor of 4 about the origin?

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

`A(-2,2);B(6,2);C(6,-2);D(-2,-2)`

Explanation:

If the given figure is dilated by a scale factor of 4, that means the figure will be four times bigger.

We can get the coordinates of the dilated ifigure by using the scale factor on each coordinate.

The given figure has coordinates:
`A'(-0.5, 0.5)`,
`B'(1.5,0.5)`,
`C'(1.5, -0.5)` and
`D'(-0.5,-0.5)`

So, the dilated coordinates are

`A(-2,2);B(6,2);C(6,-2);D(-2,-2)`
