Triangle GHJ with vertices G(-1, 3), H(4, -12), and J(3, -1) is dilated by a factor of 1/3 centered at the origin. What are the coordinates of G' after the dilation?

Answer:

The coordinates of Good after dilation will be (-1/3,1)

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the coordinates of the point G after dilation

Mathematically, that would be having 1/3 multiply the coordinates of G

G’ = 1/3 (-1,3)

G’ = (-1/3 , 1)
