Question

Question 12 points)The coordinates of Zare(2.1). What are the new coordinates of Zafter a dilationwith a scale factor of 2(4,2) (2,2) (2,4) (8,4) (1,0.5)

Answer 1

The result of Dilation is either enlargement or reduction of the original object or figure. This depend on the scale factor. A scale factor lesser than 1 results in reduction while a scale factor greater than 1 results in enlargement.

From the given information, the scale factor is 2 and the result would be an enlargement.

The new coordinates would be

(2 * 2, 1 * 2) = (4, 2)
