Question

Under a dilation of scale factor 2, S (6,7), what will be the coordinates of the point S?

Answer 1

Answer: S' = (12,14)

Point S is at (6,7)

The scale factor 2 will have us multiply each coordinate by 2 to get the new location.

6 --> 6*2 = 12

7 --> 7*2 = 14

So S (6,7) moves to S ' (12,14)
