Question

Take the points A(2,2) B(3,4) C(5,2) and D (5,4). Apply a scale factor of 2 to only the x values. What are the coordinates of your new set of points?

Answer 1

The set of coordinates are;

A’( 4,2)

B’(6,4)

C’(10,2)

D’(10,4)

Explanation:

Here, we want to get a set of new points by dilating the x coordinates of the former points by 2

Using the scale factor, we simply are going to multiply the x-coordinate values by 2

Thus we have

A’( 4,2)

B’(6,4)

C’(10,2)

D’(10,4)
