Question

Square RSTU with vertices R(-3,-1), S(-1,0), 70,-2), and U(-2, -3); dilation with scale factor k = 4

Answer 1

The dilation factor is k = 4.

Determine the vertices of new square R'S'T'U' obtained after dialtion.

`R^(\prime)(-3\cdot4,-1\cdot4)=R^(\prime)(-12,-4)`
`S^(\prime)(-1\cdot4,0\cdot4)=S^(\prime)(-4,0)`
`T^(\prime)(0\cdot4,-2\cdot4)=T^(\prime)(0,-8)`
`U^(\prime)(-2\cdot4,-3\cdot4)=U^(\prime)(-8,-12)`

Plot the square RSTU and R'S'T'U' on the graph.
