Question

Segment AB, with endpoints A(-6,9) and B(12, -3), is dilated by a scale factor of 2/3 centered at the origin. What are the coordinates of A'?

Answer 1

(-4, 6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A'(-4, 6)

Explanation:

When dilation is about the origin, the image points are the preimage points multiplied by the scale factor.

A' = (2/3)A = (2/3)(-6, 9)

A' = (-4, 6)
