Question

Quadrilateral RSTV is dilated with respect to the origin by a scale factor of 1.5 to produce quadrilateral R'S'T'V' . Vertex R is located at (6, -9). Which ordered pair represents R' after the dilation?

Answer 1

(9, -13.5)

Explanation:

It's given in the question that a quadrilateral RSTV is dilated with a scale factor of 1.5 with respect to the origin to form R'S'T'V'.

Rule for dilation is,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

where 'k' is the scale factor.

If vertex R of the quadrilateral is (6, -9),

By the given rule of dilation,

R(6, 9) → R'[(1.5 × 6), -(1.5 × 9)]

→ R'(9, -13.5)

Therefore, Option given in bottom right (9, -13.5) will be the answer.
