Question

What are the coordinates of the image of R for a dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor 3?

Answer 1

(3, -3)

Explanation:

If a point is dilated about the origin rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

where k is a scale factor by which the point is being dilated.

If a point R having coordinates (1, -1) is dilated by scale factor of 3, coordinates of the image will be [3×1, 3(-1)]

Therefore, coordinates of the image R' will be (3, -3)
