Question

A triangle has coordinates A (1, 5), B (-2, 1) and C (0, -4). What are the new coordinates if the triangle is dilated with a scale factor of 1/5 ?

Answer 1

So it's as easy as taking each coordinate and multiplying them by 1/5

Answer 2

each number in the coordinate by 1/5 ?? @johnweldon1993

Answer 3

Right, for example

\[\large A = (1,5)\]
would be
\[\large (1 \times \frac{1}{5} , 5 \times \frac{1}{5})\]
or
\[\large (\frac{1}{5} , 1)\]

Answer 4

thank you so much !!

Answer 5

Of course :)
