Question

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2, centered at the origin.L (-2, 14)L' (___,___)

Answer 1

Problem:

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2, centered at the origin.

L (-2, 14).

Solution:

To dilate something in the coordinate plane, multiply each coordinate by the scale factor. This is called mapping. Then we have that the dilated coordinate is:

`L^(\prime)(-2.(1)/(2),14.(1)/(2))`

this is equivalent to say:

`L^(\prime)((-2)/(2),(14)/(2))\text{ = }L^(\prime)(-1,7)\text{ }`

Then, the correct answer is:

`\text{ }L^(\prime)(-1,7)\text{ }`
