Question

What is the image of (-8,-7) after a dilation by a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin?

Answer 1

Answer:

The image is (-16,-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the point with A

$A = (-8,-7)$

$Scale\ factor = 2$

Required

Determine the image (A')

The image is calculated as:

$A' = A * Scale\ factor$

$A' = (-8,-7) * 2$

So, we have:

$A' = (-8* 2,-7* 2)$

$A' = (-16,-14)$

Hence, the image is (-16,-14)
