Question

1. ADEA has vertices D(8,4), E(2, 6), and F(3, 1). What are the vertices of the image after a dilation with a scale factor of 5 using the origin as the center of dilation? TO​

Answer 1

The vertices of the image are D' (40, 20), E' (10, 30), F' (15, 5)

Explanation:

If the point (x, y) dilated by a scale factor k using the origin as a center of dilation, then its image is (kx, ky)

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ The vertices of ΔDEF are D (8, 4), E (2, 6), and F (3, 1)

∵ ΔDEF dilated by a scale factor 5

∴ k = 5

∵ The origin as the center of dilation

→ That means, multiply the coordinates of every point by 5

∴ D' = (8 × 5, 4 × 5)

∴ D' = (40, 20)

∴ E' = (2 × 5, 6 × 5)

∴ E' = (10, 30)

∴ F' = (3 × 5, 1 × 5)

∴ D' = (15, 5)

∴ The vertices of the image are D' (40, 20), E' (10, 30), F' (15, 5)
