Question

HELP Triangle LMN with vertices L(6, –8), M(4, –4), and N(–12, 2) is dilated by a scale factor of 2 to obtain triangle L′M′N′. Which statement best describes triangle L′M′N′? (5 points)


It is similar to triangle LMN and has coordinates L′(12, –16), M′(8, –8), and N′(–24, 4).
It is congruent to triangle LMN and has coordinates L′(12, –16), M′(8, –8) and N′(–24, 4).
It is similar to triangle LMN and has coordinates L′(3, –4), M′(2, –2), and N′(–6, 1).
It is congruent to triangle LMN and has coordinates L′(3, –4), M′(2, –2), and N′(–6, 1).

Answer 2

hang on :) looking for my notes

Answer 3

ok thank u

Answer 4

(x,y)
(kx, ky) k is the scale factor so multiply each coordinate by 2

Answer 5

@shadow2239 what did u get?

Answer 6

i think C but not sure

Answer 7

it's not C u multiply it not divide :)

Answer 8

so it would be A if u multiply 6*2 you get 12 and with 8*2 you get 16 right ??

Answer 9

yes :D
