Question

A square with a perimeter of 32 units is graphed on a coordinate grid. The square is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5 with the origin as the center of dilation. If (x, y) represents the location of any point on the original square, which ordered pair represents the coordinates of the corresponding part on the resulting square? (8.30, RS, RC3)

Answer 1

When transforming a figure by dilation, the scale factor will be multiplied to the x and y points of the figure.

Given:

a.) The square is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5.

Given the scale factor of 2.5. The new coordinates of the resulting square must be:

$2.5x,\text{ 2.5y}$

Therefore, the answer is letter A.
