Question

Geometry ? What is the coordinate of G if triangle E’F’G’ is created by dilating EFG with a scale factor of 4 about the origin

Answer 1

In order to dilate the figure around the origin by a scale of 4, we need to multiply the coordinates of each point by 4. This is done below:

`\begin{gathered} F^(\prime)=(4\cdot-1,4\cdot2)=(-4,8) \\ G^(\prime)=(4\cdot2,4\cdot-2)=(8,-8) \\ E^(\prime)^{}=(4\cdot-2,,4\cdot0)=(-8,0) \end{gathered}`

The coordinates are: F'(-4, 8), G'(8,-8) and E'(-8,0).
