Question

PLS HELP ME Draw the image of ∆JKL under the dilation with scale factor ½ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆J’K’L’.

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Given triangle JKL with vertices at J(-2,4), K(-8,4), L(-4,6).

The dilation with scale factor ½ and center of dilation at the origin has the rule

`(x,y)\rightarrow \left((1)/(2)x,(1)/(2)y\right)`

Thus,

• 
  `J(-2,4)\rightarrow J'(-1,2);`
• 
  `K(-8,4)\rightarrow K'(-4,2);`
• 
  `L(-4,6)\rightarrow L'(-2,3).`

See attached diagram.
