B: The coordinates of the point T' are (1, 3).
How to generate new points by definition of dilation
In this question we must make use of rigid transformations to find the location of new points, rigid transformations are transformations used in geometric loci such that Euclidean distance is conserved. In this case, we need to use a kind of rigid transformation known as dilation, which is defined below:
P'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [P(x, y) - O(x, y)] (1)
Where:
- O(x, y) - Center of dilation
- k - Dilation factor
- P(x, y) - Original point
- P'(x, y) - Resulting point
Part A - If we know that O(x, y) = (0, 0), R(x, y) = (- 2, 7) and k = 3, then the coordinates of point R' are:
R'(x, y) = (0, 0) + 3 · [(- 2, 7) - (0, 0)]
R'(x, y) = (- 6, 21)
Part B - If we know that O(x, y) = (- 2, 7), T(x, y) = (4, - 1) and k = 1/2, then the coordinates of point T' are:
T'(x, y) = (- 2, 7) + (1 / 2) · [(4, - 1) - (- 2, 7)]
T'(x, y) = (- 2, 7) + (1 / 2) · (6, - 8)
T'(x, y) = (- 2, 7) + (3, - 4)
T'(x, y) = (1, 3)
