A dilation maps (4, 6) to (2, 3).
Under the same dilation, (-1,3) would be mapped to

(-1/2, 3/2)
(-3, 0)
(-2, 6)

Hello! It seems like you could use the slope equation here and then graph it. If you don't know the slope formula it is x=y2-y1/x2-x1 So it would be set up like

3-6/2-4 can you solve this to get your slope?

anonymous · Answer

were did those numbers come from

anonymous · Answer

Your coordinates will always be (x,y) So your first pair is (4,6) or (x1,y1) and (2,3) or (x2,y2)

anonymous · Answer

$$x=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }$$

anonymous · Answer

$$x= \frac{ 3-6 }{ 2-4 }$$ is our equation were working with

anonymous · Answer

so wats the answer

anonymous · Answer

Well, were left with the slope of -3/2 so If we graph our first coordinate (-1,3) then using our slope our second coordinate would be (-3,0)

anonymous · Answer

So, your answer is (-3,0) :D

thanks

No Problem!
