Question

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2, centered at the origin.J (-8, 8)J' (___,___)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the new point, dilation means multiply each coordinate by the scale factor, like this:

J(-8, 8)

J'(-8*1/2, 8*1/2)=J'(-4, 4)
