Question

The vertices of a kite are shown below. (24, 0), (48, 6), (24, 8), (0, 6) Which of the following points is a vertex for the image produced by a dilation about the origin with a scale factor of 1/4?

A. (6, 2)
B. (6, 4)
C. (1.5, 12)
D. (0, 3)

Answer 1

(24,0) * 1/4 = 6,0
(48,6) * 1/4 = 12, 1.5
(24,8) * 1/4 = 6,2
(0,6) *1/4 = 0,1.5

The answer is (6,2) because the ordered pair (24,8) dilated by the scale factor of 1/4 is (6,2)

Hope this helps :)
