@experimentX can you help me :(

experimentx · Answer

dilated from which point?

experimentx · Answer

sorry ... i didn't see it carefully

anonymous · Answer

it just says if its dilated by a scale factor of two fifths, what is the ordered pair of I'

anonymous · Answer

its okay :)

anonymous · Answer

dilate means shrink, right? o,o... 

if so, I (-2,6) times 2/5 = (-0.75, 2.4)

not sure if this is what you want

experimentx · Answer

-4/5, 12/5

experimentx · Answer

the above approach seems better than mine ... (case when the center of dilation is origin (0, 0))

anonymous · Answer

(-0.8, 2.4)

(-5, 15)

(-2.5, 5)

(-0.4, 0.8)

anonymous · Answer

these are my choices

anonymous · Answer

that would be A

since the answer is  (-0.75, 2.4), it would round up to (-0.8, 2.4)
