Question

9) If point B with coordinates (5, 2) is dilated by a scale factor of 3, what will be the coordinates of the image point B'?

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

B' (15, 6) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation

To dilate a given coordinate (x, y) about the origin by a scale factor of n, we will obtain (nx, ny).

So, for the given coordinate (5, 2), dilating by the scale factor of 3, we will obtain

B (5, 2) = B' (5×3, 2×3) = B' (15, 6)

Hope this Helps!!!
