Question

Plot the image of point A under a dilation about point P with a scale factor of 4

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the point A has coordinates (2,3) and the center of dilation is the origin.

Then the image of point A under a dilation of scale factor of 4 is $(4*2,4*3)=(8,12)$

Hence $A(2,3)\to A'(8,12)$

In general the rule for a dilation of scale factor of k is $(x,y)\to(kx,ky)$

Answer 2

Answer:

Point A' would be 8 units (straight down) below from where Point P is.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Point A, and Point P is two units, therefore we want to multiply:

4(2) = 8

This will give us the total distance between Point P, and Point A'.

Next move 8 units down from Point P or 6 units down from Point A.

This is really late but I hope it helps anyway!
