Question

Hexagon IJKLMN is shown on the coordinate plane below.

If hexagon IJKLMN is dilated by a scale factor of 2/5 from the origin to create hexagon I’J’K’L’M’N’, what is the ordered pair of point L’?

(-0.4, 0.8)

(-5, 15)

(-0.8, 2.4)

(-2.5, 5)

Answer 1

@rudyjanay could you tell me the coordinates of L?

Answer 2

ok i will look at the question again

Answer 3

sure, take your time

Answer 4

can you see the diagram? the coordinate is -1,2

Answer 5

Yeah, you're correct, it's given that the hexagon is dilated 2/5 from the origin, so all vertices coordinates of the new hexagon will be 2/5 of the original hexagon.
Can you tell L' coordinates now?

Answer 6

no i can't i'm not good with dilations

Answer 7

It's easy @rudyjanay all the coordinates will be 2/5 of the original.
Suppose a vertex has coordinates (x, y)
new coordinates will be \(\large \frac 25 \times x, \frac 25\times y\)
try now

Answer 8

nope still don't get it

Answer 9

sorry

Answer 10

just a moment

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

I'm back,

Answer 13

Let' work on this problem, I'll explain it

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

Suppose I have a triangle ABC, I'll randomly mark its coordinates.
Can you see the coordinates, tell me A's ?
