Question

A triangle has vertices with coordinates (2,0), (4, -2) and (-2,-6). If the triangle isdilated by a scale factor of 1/2 with the origin as the center of dilation, what arethe coordinates of the vertices of the image?(1,0), (2,-1), (-1,-3)(-2,0), (-4,2), (2,6)(4,0), (8,-4),(-4,-12)(2,0), (4,-2), (2,-6)

Answer 1

• The given vertices are (2,0), (4,-2) and (-2,-6).

,

• The scale factor is 1/2.

We just have to divide each coordinate by 2 tog et
