Question

Dilate the line segment AB with endpoints A(–3,1) and B(4,–2) about the origin with a scale factor 3. Find the endpoints of the dilated line segment. Question 24 options: A′(–3,1), B′(12,–6) A′(0,4), B′(7,1) A′(–9,3), B′(4,–2) A′(–9,3), B′(12,–6)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To do the dilation, simply multiply each coordinate by the scale factor. That is

(-3,1)*3 = (-9,3) and (4,-2) * 3 = (12,-6). So the new points are A'(-9,3) and B'(12,-6)
