Triangle ABC has the following coordinates: A (-2, 3) B (4, -3) C (-2, -3) What are the coordinates points for triangle A'B'C' if the scale factor is −3/4.
You just have to multiple every coordinate by the scale factor -3/4
-2,3*-3/4=-2,2.25 @dude
\[4,-3\times-3/4=4,2.25\]
\[-2,-3\times-3/4=-2,2.25\]
Well uh you want to watch your signs first negative times a negative is a positive \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @CC12 -2,3*-3/4=-2,2.25 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) -2\(\times-\frac34\) is 1.5 3\(\times-\frac34\) is -2.25 You're supposed to multiply the x and y value by the scale factor
Oh i get it now
do you add the 1.5 and 2.225 then
2.25
No, its a coordinate so it stays as (1.5, 2.25)
That is point A Could you re-do the rest? (I'll check them)
yes
\[4\times-3/4=-3\]
\[3\times-3/4=2.25\]
Right answer but when you show your work, make sure it corresponds to the numbers \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @CC12 \[3\times-3/4=2.25\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) The 3 should be negative here, else it would give you -2.25
-3*-3/4?
Ya
The answer was right
-2*-3/4=1.5 -3*-3/4=2.25
Yep
A'(1.5,2.25) B'(-3,2.25) C'(1.5,2.25)
Thank you so much dude
Sure :)
