Question

Giving medal!!! An artist designed a badge for a school club. Figure ABCD on the coordinate grid below shows the shape of the badge.

Answer 1

The badge is enlarged and plotted on the coordinate grid as Figure JKLM with point J located at (1, -6) and point M located at (3, -2).

Which of these could be the possible coordinates for a vertex? (1 point)


(-1, -6)
(5, -2)
(6, -6)
(7, -2)

Answer 2

Answer 3

The two points (J and M) are representing the points A and D that have been relocated and dilated by a factor of 2. Do you see that?

Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

Point M is at (3, -2) now you can locate a vertex that represents the old point C.
In the original figure ABCD you can see that point C is on the same y axis as point A and located one x division to the right. Thus, the equivalent location for the new figure would be at for the x we would now use 2 x divisions (dilated by a factor of 2) to the right giving us an x value of 5, while the y value would remain the same , or -2. The vertex would be then one of your choices.

Answer 6

k

Answer 7

so would it be b?

Answer 8

Now that is one vertex as you can see there are 4 vertex, yes that is correct, and the only good choice, the other vertex is at (7, -6) and the other 2 vertices are given (points J and M)

Answer 9

I hope you followed this explanation, I kinda get the feeling you did.

Answer 10

so i just wanna ask its not b? i was thinking c?

Answer 11

No you had it correct. that was the best answer, stick with it.

Answer 12

okay thanks :D

Answer 13

The other 3 vertices are (1, -6) (3, -2) and (7, -6) and they are not options.

Answer 14

alright thanks :D

Answer 15

You're welcome and good luck with your studies.
