Question

Dilate the triangle with a scale factor of 2 and a center of dilation at the origin

(0,0)
(4,-2)
(2,-5)

Answer 1

To dilate the figure by a factor of 2, I will multiply the x and y-value of each point by 2. I plotted all the new points to find the new triangle. To dilate the figure by a factor of 2, I will multiply the x and y-value of each point by 2.

The picture below shows a dilation with a scale factor of 2. This means that the image, A', is twice as large as the pre-image A. Like other transformations, prime notation is used to distinguish the image fromthe pre-image.
