Question

Triangle ABC is dilated with center (0,0) with a scale factor of 1.5.

А
C
B
What are the new coordinates of Point C?

Answer 1

(- 3.5, 0 )

Explanation:

since the dilatation is centred at the origin then multiply each coordinate by the scale factor of 1.5 , that is

C (- 2, 0 ) → C' (- 2 × 1.5 , 0 × 1.5 ) → C' (- 3, 0 )
