Question

What is the image of (-4,3) after a dilation by a scale factor of 2/2 centered at the origin?

a) (-4,3)
b) (-8,6)
c) (-2,1.5)
d) (4,-3)

Answer 1

The image of (-4,3) after a dilation by a scale factor of 2/2 centered at the origin is (-4,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the image of a point after dilation, we need to multiply the coordinates of the point by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 2/2, which simplifies to 1. So, the image of (-4,3) would be (-4*1, 3*1), which is equal to (-4,3). Therefore, the correct answer is option a) (-4,3).
