Question

Graph the image of the given triangle under a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 and center of dilation (1, −3) . Graph below

Answer 1

@OtherWorldly

Answer 2

ok do you understand the question

Answer 3

No not exactly sure what dilation is.

Answer 4

it means when the shape ur graphing doesn't change only the size

Answer 5

so when u graph the triangle again its going to be either bigger or smaller

Answer 6

okay can you show me how to graph it please?

Answer 7

ok but i need to make sure of something do u know what it means when it says the center of dilation is ( 1, -3)

Answer 8

no thats confusing to me to is it talking about the center of the triangle or something else?

Answer 9

its saying that instead of u doing the dilation on the usual center point (0,0) this time we will be using (1, -3) as the center point

Answer 10

oh ok i think i understand a little bit more so the center of the dilation is where this red dot that i drew is

Answer 11

ok good now i want u to count each side how many space r there and attach

Answer 12

then we will go from there

Answer 13

like this?

Answer 14

ok so know that you know how many spaces are on each side remember the question. It said the dilation of 1/2 so that means its going to be half of the spaces . In the end the triangle will be smaller than the original

Answer 15

wow okay so the 8 would be 4 and the 6 would be 3 right?

Answer 16

yeah and then the answer to the question would be the coordinates but make sure to name each point then put the coordinates for example A ( 3, 8), B ( 7, 3 ), and C ( 5, 9) those art the answers just an example of how to put ur answer down

Answer 17

but remember the answers ur putting down aren't the original ones and u want to make that clear so u would have to do this for the dilation triangle
