Triangle EFG has coordinates E (-4, 4), F (-4, -2), and G (2, -2). Triangle JKL will be a dilation of triangle EFG with a scale factor of 1/2.

At what coordinates should point L, of triangle JKL, be plotted?

A. (2, -1)

B. (0, -1)

C. (-1, 1)

D. (1, -1)

campbell_st · Answer

so start at K and count 3 units horizontally to the right

FG = 6 units so halve dilation will be 3...
