Question

The triangle ABC shown on the coordinate plane below,is dilated from the origin by scale factor= 1/2. what is the location of triangle A'B'C'?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

With a dialation about the origin of a scale factor of 1/2 every point of the dialated figure is now one half of the points from the original figure:

`(x,y)\rightarrow((1)/(2)x,(1)/(2)y)`

We have this points:

• A: (3, 4)

,

• B: (-7, 2)

,

• C: (2, 2)

The new coordinates of these points will be:

Answer:

• A': (1.5, 2)

,

• B': (-3.5, 1)

,

• C': (1, 1)
