Question

Suppose that rectangle ABCD is dilated to A’B’C’D’ using (0, 0) as the center and a magnitude of 2. What are the coordinates of A’? A (8, 6) B (-8, 6) C (8, -6) D (-8, -6)

Quizzma Team · Answer

To find the coordinates of A’ after dilation, we multiply the coordinates of point A by the dilation factor.

Given that the dilation factor is 2 and the coordinates of A are (8, 6):

1. Multiply the x-coordinate by 2: (8 times 2 = 16)
2. Multiply the y-coordinate by 2: (6 times 2 = 12)

So, the coordinates of A’ are (16, 12).
