Question

the coordinates of the quadrilateral VWXY are given below find the coordinates of its image after a dialation with the given scale factor which is 2.

 

v(6,2)  w(-2,4) x(-3,-2) y(3,-5)

 

 

Answer 1

If you're dilating relative to the origin, then all you have to do is multiply all of your components by the scale factor.

v(6,2) → v'(12,4) and so on.

 

If you have a point other than the origin that you're dilating relative to, it's somewhat more complicated. Please comment if you have a dilation point and let me know what it is, and I can walk you through the steps.
