Question

What is the image of -8 ,8 after a dilation by a scale factor of one fourth centered at the origin?

Answer 1

(-2, 2)

Explanation:

If you have a point (x, y) and you do a dilation by a scale factor K centered at the origin, the new point will just be (k*x, k*y)

So, if the original point is (-8, 8)

And we do a dilation by a scale factor k = 1/4

Then the image of the point will be:

(-8*(1/4), 8*(1/4))

(-8/4, 8/4)

(-2, 2)
