A dilation has center (0, 0). Find the image of the point B (4, -10) for the scale factor of 0.5. (2, 5) (8, -20) (2,-5) (2, -10)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If you apply a dilation with scale factor of k to (x,y), then you get the new point (k*x, k*y)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

In other words, you multiply the scale factor with each coordinate to get the new point.

so 2,-5 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(2,-5) I think you meant to write, so yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
