Question

ABC has coordinates of A (-8,-8), B (4,-2), and C (2,2). Find the coordinates of its image after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5

Answer 1

The coordinates of the image of point A (-8,-8) after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5 are (-12, -12).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the image of point A(-8,-8) after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5, we can multiply the coordinates of point A by the scale factor.

The coordinates of the image of point A are calculated as follows:

x-coordinate of the image = -8 * 1.5 = -12

y-coordinate of the image = -8 * 1.5 = -12

So, the coordinates of the image of point A are (-12, -12).

Answer 2

A (-9.5, -9.5) B (5.5,-2.5) C (3.5,3.5)
