Question

P' (12,-3) is the image of P after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 3. What are the coordinates of P?

Answer 1

P (4, - 1 )

Explanation:

The image coordinates are 3 times the original coordinates.

To find the original coordinates divide the image coordinates by 3

P (12 ÷ 3, - 3 ÷ 3 ) → P (4, - 1 )
