Question

Figure RSTU has coordinates R = (3,4), S = (7.2), T = (5, 10), and U = (12,8). The figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r . Select the correct coordinates of R. A R' = (3,2) B R' = (1.5, 4) C R' = (3.5, 4.5) D R' = (1.5, 2) * Select the correct answer. 1 point Ο Α OB D

Answer 1

Option D is correct.

R' (1.5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation

A dilation means the size is increased or decreased. If the scale factor is less than 1, then the size is decreased, but if the scale factor is more than 1, it means the figure is enlarged.

Dilating about the origin just multiplies the coordinates by the scale factor. So, dilating (x, y) about the origin by a scale factor k, gives new coordinates (kx, ky).

For this question, we need to dilate R (3, 4) by a scale factor, r = ½

R' = [½(3), ½(4)] = (1.5, 2)

Hope this Helps!!!
