Answer:
the coordinates of the image D are (-1, 4)
Explanation:
To find the coordinates of the image D, we need to apply the dilation transformation centered at R(-3, 5). Let the scale factor be k.
The x-coordinate of D will be shifted k times the distance between 1 and -3, which is 4 units, from the x-coordinate of R, which is -3. So we have:
0.5 = -3 + k(4)
Solving for k, we get:
k = 1.375
Similarly, the y-coordinate of D will be shifted k times the distance between 3 and 5, which is 2 units, from the y-coordinate of R, which is 5. So we have
R: (x, y) = (-3, 5)
D: (x, y) = (-3 + 1.375(1 - (-3)), 5 + 1.375(3 - 5))
D: (x, y) = (-1, 4)
Therefore, the coordinates of the image D are (-1, 4), which is option D.
