Answer 1

Hexagon IJKLMN is shown on the coordinate plane below.

Answer 2

If hexagon IJKLMN is dilated by a scale factor of 2/5 from the origin to create hexagon I'J'K'L'M'N', what is the ordered pair of point N'? (4 points)

Answer 3

ANSWERS;
(-0.4, 0.8)
(-0.8, 2.4)
(-2.4, 0.8)
(-15, 5)

Answer 4

I think x would be 2/5*(-6) - since it shrinks the x coordinate by 2/5th's its size
and y would be 2/5*(2) - since it shrinks the x coordinate by 2/5th's its size
using (x, y) what would it be?

im not 100% about this

Answer 5

I'm not sure if "from the origin" affects the problem, but a dilation means you multiply a number to a point to change it. So what would the original (x, y) be for N on the graph?

Answer 6

-6, 2

Answer 7

@uri

Answer 8

Yep! I agree with you @msasu25
A dilation makes (x, y) into (kx, ky) And what option would that be? @ooooohyeahpppppjayboy

Answer 9

That's the original. What do we get after we multiply by 2/5?

Answer 10

Oops I meant y coordinate here not x coordinate, sorry,

"and y would be 2/5*(2) - since it shrinks the x coordinate by 2/5th's its size"
