Question

A triangle has vertices A(0,0), B(8,0), C(3,-2). Find the coordinates of the triangle after

dilation with a scale factor of 4. The dilation is (X,Y) --- (4x,4y)​

Answer 1

`A' = (0,0)`,
`B' = (32,0)` and
`C' = (12, -8)`

Explanation:

The new coordinates after using the scale factor is:

`A' = (4\cdot 0, 4\cdot 0)`

`A' = (0,0)`

`B' = (4\cdot 8, 4\cdot 0)`

`B' = (32,0)`

`C' = (4\cdot 3, 4\cdot (-2))`

`C' = (12, -8)`
