Question

Triangle ABC is dilated using a scale factor of 1/2.What are the new coordinates of point A'?A.) (-3, 3)B.) (-2, 2)C.) (-12, 12)

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

ABC

A = (-6 , 6)

factor of dilation = 1/2

A' = ?

Step 02:

A' = (-6 * 1/2 , 6 * 1/2 )

A' = ( -3 , 3 )

The answer is:

A' = ( -3 , 3 )
