Question

Graph the image of this figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at

(−7, −6). Use the polygon tool to graph the dilated figure. *picture Below*

Answer 1

See the picture below

Explanation:

You start from the center given (-7,-6), then count how many spaces from the center to that point. Take that number and triple it to find the new point. I drew lines so that you could see the path of two of the points.

The path that I did not draw was from the point (-3,-2). If you start at (-7,-6) you will have to move 4 spaces to the right and 4 spaces up to get to (-3,-2) Now triple that. You will move 12 spaces to the right and 12 spaces up for the new point of (5,6)
