Question

Identify the coordinates of the image of vertex M under a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1/2

Answer 1

(2,0)

Explanation:

The current coordinate of M are (4,0). This means the side length of OM is 4. To scale down by a factor of 1/2, the side length would become 4*1/2 = 2.

This side is now 2 and would place the point M at (2,0).
