Question

A dilation has center (0, 0). Find the image of each point for the given scale factor.

P(−3,5); D1(P)

A. (−3,5)
B. (5,−3)
C. (6,−2)
D. (−2,6)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-3,5)

Answer 2

A. (−3,5)

Explanation:

The rule for dilation by scale factor k is given by:

`(x,y)\to (kx,ky)`

The given point is P(-3,5) and the scale factor is k=1

We substitute the point and the scale factor into the rule to get:

`P(-3,5)\to P'(-3*1,5*1)`

This gives us:

`P(-3,5)\to P'(-3,5)`

The correct answer is A
