Question

If a dilation with a scale factor of 5 is performed to ADEF, what will be the

coordinates of the new triangle?
D(-5,-2)
E(-5,3)
F(2,3)
o D'(-25,-10) E'(-25,15) F(10,15)
o D'(-20,-10) E'(-20,15) F'(5,15)
o D'(-1,5) E'(-1,3) F'(5,3)

Answer 1

o D'(-25,-10) E'(-25,15) F'(10,15)

Explanation:

In dilations, the scale factor is how many times larger than the new image will be.

Great, that explains a lot.

In other words, multiply the x and y-coordinate by the scale factor.

In this case, the scale factor is 5.

D(-5,-2)

-5 ⋅ 5 = -25

-2 ⋅ 5 = -10

E(-5,3)

-5 ⋅ 5 = -25

3 ⋅ 5 = 15

F(2,3)

2 ⋅ 5 = 10

3 ⋅ 5 = 15

Therefore, the new coordinates are:

D' (-25,-10)

E' (-25,15)

F' (10,15)

Answer 2

Answer: · D'(-25,-10) E'(-25,15) F'(10,15)
