Question

Copy the graph at the right. On the same set of axes, graph the image of MNOP for a dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor 2. Use coordinate geometry and the definition of similar polygons to prove that MNOP is similar to its image.

Answer 1

Welcome To Questioncove
Where is the graph?

Answer 2

one moment

Answer 3

So, dilation is expanding/growing a shape. In this case its a factor of 2. meaning that it is TWO times larger than it is, keep in mind that 1 times as big is the same size as it currently is, what you need to do is double the distance between the coordinates.

Answer 4

Ok, thx

Answer 5

what do u mean when u say double the distance between the coordinates?

Answer 6

So point P would go UP 3 and RIGHT 1, M would go UP 2 and RIGHT 3

Answer 7

Ok

Answer 8

O would stay in the same place but N would go over to the right 3

Answer 9

Does that clear things up or do i need to explain a bit more?

Answer 10

yes that does. Thank u

Answer 11

Yup!
