Question

Please it do in 6 min i need help with this one please The following points are from a dilation. If

B(0 , 5 ) and B'(x, 2 0 ), what is x?

Answer 1

The value of x = 0

Explanation:

Given

• B(0, 5)

• B'(x, 20)

To determine

The value of x = ?

If we closely observe the value of the y-coordinate of the image B'(x, 20), we can see that the y-coordinate of the image B' is 4 times the y-coordinate of the original point (0, 5).

i.e. y → 5×4 =20

It means the coordinates of the image B'(x, 20) can be determined by dilating the original point (0, 5) by a scale factor of 4.

Thus, the x-coordinate of B'(x, 20) can also be obtained by multiplying the x-coordinate of B(0, 5) by 4.

i.e. x → 4×0 = 0

Thus, the rule of dilation is:

P(x, y) = P'(4x, 4y)

Hence,

B(0, 5) → B'(4(0), 4(5)) → B'(0, 20)

Thus,

The value of x = 0 ∵ 0×4 = 0
