Question

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graph the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 centered at (5, −5).

Answer 1

Answer: Not sure because you didn't attach a picture of the figure

Explanation:

But something I did that worked for me was to multiply the coordinates by the factor (1/4) and it worked a few times to maybe try that!

Answer 2

Scale factor(k) = 1/4, and centered at (5, -5).

Labelled the given figure as A, B and C.

The coordinates of the given triangle ABC are;

A = (-3, 7)

B = (-7, -5)

C = (9, 3)

To find the image of the figure after a dilation with scale factor 1/4 centered at (5, -5).

The rule of dilation with scale factor 1/4 and centered at (5, -5) is given by;

(x, y) \rightarrow (\frac{1}{4}(x-5)+5, \frac{1}{4}(y+5)-5)(x,y)→(

or

The coordinates of the image of the figure after dilation are;

As, you can see the graph as shown below in the attachment.
