Question

What are the coordinates of the image of the point (2, –6) under a dilation with a center of (0, 0) and a scale factor of 1/2 ? A. (0, 0) B. (1, –3) C. (2, –6) D. (4, –12)

Answer 1

The answer is (1,-3)

Explanation:

I took the test :)

Answer 2

B. (1, -3)

Explanation:

When you dilate from the origin (0, 0) by a scale factor of 1/2, multiple each coordinate point by 1/2.

(2, -6)

2 × 1/2 = 1

-6 × 1/2 = -3

(1, -3)

I hope this helps :))
