A dilation has center (0, 0). Find the image of the point A (-4, 6) for the scale factor 4.5.

Answer 1

When the center of dilation is the origin, you just multiply the x and y coordinates by the scale factor k. That is, for a point A = (x,y) and scale factor k, the image point is A' = (kx,ky)

For your problem A = (-4,6) and k = 4.5. Can you find A'?
