Question

What is the image of (-4,4) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/4 centered at the
origin?

Answer 1

Answer is ( -1, 1 )

Step by step

Since the dilation is centered at the origin, the image of any point (x,y) after applying a dilation of scale factor "k" is the point (Kx, ky).

So ( -4, 4) becomes ( 1/4 * -4 , 1/4 * 4 )

Multiply

Answer is ( -1, 1 )
