Question

An artist designed a badge for a school club. Figure ABCD on the coordinate grid below shows the shape of the badge:

The badge is enlarged and plotted on the coordinate grid as figure JKLM with point J located at (−4, −7) and point M located at (−2, −3).

Which of these could be the coordinates for point L?

(−1, −7)
(3, −7)
(0, −3)
(2, −3)

Answer 1

Answer 3

@mathmale

Answer 4

This is an enlargement factor 2
the distances between the points are doubled

Answer 5

the point corresponding to C in the enlarged image is L
ANd C is 1 unit to the right of A
So how many units to the right of K will L be?

Answer 6

* C is 1 unit to the right of D ( not A)

Answer 7

2?

Answer 8

since its doubled

Answer 9

Yes
(I should have said to the right of M , sorry)
So now you know the coordinates of L

Answer 10

I have to keep going out and returning to the post because the system isnt clearing my posts!

Answer 11

@welshfella Its ok thank you for helping!

Answer 12

yw

Answer 13

@welshfella just checking so am going to ober from M to get L ? (1,3)

Answer 14

Yes - my error its to the right of M ( not K)

Answer 15

so the answer is 1, -3 ?

Answer 16

No
M is at (-2,-3)
so going to the right will retain n the y = -3 but x coordinate will be = -2 + 2 = 0

Answer 17

so L = (0,-3)

Answer 18

OOOH sorry thats what i meant haha i dont know why i put 1
