Question

A rectangle has vertices at P (16,16), Q(16,-16), R(-16,-16) and S(-16,16). The origin is the center of dilation and the rule of a dilation is (x,y)→(1/4x, 1/4y) What is P' of the dilated image, PQ’R’S’?

Answer 1

Answer:

(4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're trying to find what P' is, and P' would be the dilation of P. This means that you apply the rule (x, y) --> (1/4x, 1/4y) with the coordinate point (16, 16). This would be:

(16, 16) --> (1/4 * 16, 1/4 * 16) = (4, 4)
