Hexagon IJKLMN is shown on the coordinate plane below.


If hexagon IJKLMN is dilated by a scale factor of 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

Dilation factor? It isn't in your question.

Answer 2

If your scale factor is 2/5, multiply your x and y coordinates by that factor. That will give you the answer. Looks to me to be the first one. Note that the last one is multiplication by the reciprocal of the scale factor. The other two answers don't keep the figure in the same place with respect to the origin.

Answer 3

so the answer is the last one

Answer 4

No, the answer is the first one.

Answer 5

thank you

No sweat. Do math every day.
