Question

A rectangle has vertices (8,6), (4, 6),

(8,-4), and (4,-4). What are the
coordinates after dilating from the origin
by a scale factor of 1.5?

Answer 1

the dilated coordinates are (12, 9), (6, 9), (12, -6), (6, -6)

Explanation:

The dilation factor multiplies each coordinate value when the center is the origin.

__

(8, 6) ⇒ 1.5(8, 6) = (12, 9)

(4, 6) ⇒ 1.5(4, 6) = (6, 9)

(8, -4) ⇒ 1.5(8, -4) = (12, -6)

(4, -4) ⇒ 1.5(4, -4) = (6, -6)
