Question

Find the image of the figure after a dilation with a point A as the centre by a scale factor of 0.75​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So the dilation of .75.

You want to find what each point is before the dilation.

A(-10,-14)

B(-10,14)

C(12,14)

D(12,-14)

So, we multiply these by the scale factor, 0.75.

(x,y) = (X x 0.75, y x 0.75)

A = -10 x 0.75, -14 x 0.75

B= -10 x 0.75, 14 x 0.75

C = 12 x 0.75 , 14 x 0.75

D = 12 x 0.75 , -14 x 0.75

now, the image of the figure would be

A' ( -7.5, -10.5)

B' (-7.5, 10.5)

C' (9, 10.5)

D' (9, -10.5)
