pentagon OPQRS is shown on the coordinate plane below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If pentagon OPQRS is dilated by a scale factor of 7/4 from the origin, to create O'P'Q'R'S', what is the ordered pair of point S'? (4 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(8.75, 5.25) (1.25, 0.75) (1.75, 3.5) (3.5, 8.75)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BabiiMuffin can u help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Concentrationalizing can u help medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would need to the coordinate point for S and multiply both the x-value and the y-value by 7/4 and see what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1.75, 3.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or did i do it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Concentrationalizing ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, what is the initial coordinate point for S?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Other way around, (2,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you scale this now by 7/4, I need to multiply 2 by 7/4 and 5 by 7/4. So what is 2*7/4 and 5*7/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He needs point S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, (8.75, 5.25)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is (3.5, 8.75)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because when you multiply 2 by 7/4 it equals 3.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(2\cdot\frac{7}{4}\) = \(2\cdot1.75\ = 3.5\) \(5\cdot\frac{7}{4} = 5\cdot1.75 = 8.75\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I am correct, right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, (3.5,8.75) is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
