Question

Graph the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the coordinates of each vertex. From the graph,

W = (3, 4)

X = (5, 4)

Y = (- 2, - 3)

Z = (- 4, -3)

If we dilate by a scale factor of 2, it means that we would multiply each coordinate by 2. The new coordinates would be

W' = (3 * 2, 4 * 2)

X' = (5 * 2, 4 * 2)

Y' = (- 2 * 2, - 3 * 2)

Z' = (- 4 * 2, -3 * 2)

The coordinates to be plotted on the graph are

W' = (6, 8)

X' = (10, 8)

Y' = (- 4, - 6)

Z' = (- 8, - 6)

The graph is shown below
