Question

The diagram below shows AABC with vertices A(1, 1), B(2, 4), and C(6, 3). Determine the y coordinate of B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5 centered at the origin?

Answer 1

The y coordinate of B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5 centered at the origin is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y coordinate of point B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5 centered at the origin can be found by multiplying the y coordinate of point B by the scale factor. Point B has a y coordinate of 4.

To get the y coordinate of B', we calculate:

1. Multiply the y coordinate of B by the scale factor: 4 × 1.5
2. This equals 6.

Therefore, the y coordinate of B' after the dilation is 6.
