Question

what is the image of P for a dilation with center 0,0 and a scale factor of 2.5?

Answer 1

`center 0,0 and a scale factor of 2.5` tells us to multiply each coordinate of each point by 2.5

Answer 2

This only works if the center of dilation is (0,0)

Answer 3

so the coordinates for p would be ... 2.5, -5 ? @jim_thompson5910
