Question

A Dilation has a center (0,0). Find the image of this point for the given scale factor: P (2-4); D 0.5 (P)

Answer 1

(1, -2)

Explanation:

The dilation that has a center of (0, 0) means that you would multiply each number in your coordinate point by your given scale factor.

For your given point (2, -4) with a scale factor of 0.5:

2 times 0.5 = 1

-4 times 0.5 = -2

Therefore your new point will be (1, -2).
