Question

The graph shows quadrilateral FGHI and the location of vertex F' after a dilation with respect to the origin. What are the coordinates of G' ?

a. (2, 3)
b. (0, 2)
c. (3, 2)
d. (2, 0)

Answer 1

G is at (0, 2). Good luck!

Answer 2

b. (0,2)

Explanation:

The distance between origin and F is double than between origin and F'. With that in mind, we can deduce that the distance between origin and G must be double than between origin and G'. If the distance between origin and G is 4, then the distance between origin and G' has to be 2. Given that point G is on the y-axis, G' must be on the y-axis too. So, point G' is (0,2)
