Question 10

With the points A(6, 2) B(-4,-4)
C(-8, 12) D(2, -8).
What are the new points if the scale factor of dilation is 1/2?

Answer 1

• A'(3, 1); B'(-2, 2); C'(-4, 6); D'(1, -4)

-----------------------------------

The scale factor k affects the points with the rule:

• (x, y) → (kx, ky)

Apply the rule to the given points, given k = 1/2:

• A(6, 2) → A'(3, 1);
• B(-4, 4) → B'(-2, 2);
• C(-8, 12) → C'(-4, 6);
• D(2, -8) → D'(1, -4)
