Question

Y=1/4x-2 dilated by a scale factor of 4

Answer 1

`y = (1)/(4)x - 8`

Explanation:

Assuming we want to find the equation after

`y = (1)/(4)x - 2`

is dilated by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin.

Note that after a dilation about the origin, the image and the preimage line are parallel.

However there the new y-intercept will be 4×-2=-8

The new equation is

`y = (1)/(4)x - 8`
