Question

If hexagon IJKLMN is dilated by a scale factor of two fifths from the origin to create hexagon I'J'K'L'M'N', what is the ordered pair of point L'?  (I tried and didn't get none of the right answers

ranga · Answer

You multiply both the x and y coordinates of L by the scale factor, 2/5,  to get L'.

I did and I got 3 for x and 9 for y when the real answer either has to be(-0.4, 0.8) 

 (-5, 15) 

 (-0.8, 2.4) 

 (-2.5, 5)

What are the original coordinates of the hexagon IJKLMN?  Can you attach the diagram?

ranga · Answer

If you read the coordinates of L from the graph you can see it is -1 along x axis and +2 along y axis.   L is (-1, 2)
Scale factor is 2/5.  Multiply each coordinate by 2/5 to get L'"
L' is (-1 * 2/5,  2 * 2/5) = (-2/5, 4/5) = (-0.4, 0.8)
