HELP! Find the image vertices for a dilation with center (0, 0) and a scale factor of 4. I'm so confused!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rational):

start by finding the vertices of given diagram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kk

OpenStudy (rational):

A = (-3, 1) B = (4, -3) C = ? D = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c= (2, 3) and I cant tell what D is because my eye sight sucks :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its (6, -1) but im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait (4, -1)

OpenStudy (rational):

x coordinate comes first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1, 4)

OpenStudy (rational):

A = (-3, 1) B = (4, -3) C = (2, 3) D = (-1, 4)

OpenStudy (rational):

they are the coordinates before dilation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay!!! Thank you!!! You are so awesome!

OpenStudy (rational):

now multiply each coordinate by 4 to dilate the figure by a scale factor of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = (-3, 1) ----> (-12, 4) B = (4, -3)----->(16,-12) C = (2, 3)------>(8, 12) D = (-1, 4)-----> (-4, 16)

OpenStudy (rational):

Excellent!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the answer?

OpenStudy (rational):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so I just answer it with the vertices and the scale factor?

OpenStudy (rational):

thats all there is to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU!!!
