Hexagon IJKLMN is shown on the coordinate plane below:

(I'll post the pic)

If hexagon IJKLMN is dilated by a scale factor of two fifths from the origin to create hexagon I'J'K'L'M'N', what is the ordered pair of point I'?

(−0.8, 2.4)
(−5, 15)
(−2.5, 5)
(−0.4, 0.8)

carmelle · Answer

is the answer " (−0.8, 2.4)"

my reasoning:

Point I is (-2,6) and the hexagon is dilated 2/5 from the origin so I have to multiply the coordinates by 2/5

-2 × 0.4 = -0.8
6 × 0.4 = 2.4

am I correct?
