Question

Dilatefigure AXYZ bya scale factorof k = ;. Whatis the image ofZ?

Answer 1

Given:

The given triangle is

Required:

We have to find the coordinates of Z after dilation.

Explanation:

If we dilate the figure by a factor

$\text{ K}=\frac{1}{2}$

then to find the new orordinates we have to divide each coordinate by

$\frac{1}{2}$

From the figure, we can see that the coordinate of Z is

$(-4,-4)$

Hence the new coordinate that we get after dilation is

$(\frac{-4}{2},\frac{-4}{2})=(-2,-2)$

Final answer:

Hence the final answer is

$(-2,-2)$
