coordinate plane with squares WXYZ and W prime X prime Y prime Z prime and points A, B, C, and D at W negative 4 comma 3, X negative 2 comma 3, Y negative 4 comma 1, Z negative 2 comma 1, W prime negative 6 comma 1, X prime 0 comma 1, Y prime negative 6 comma negative 5, Z prime 0 comma negative 6, A negative 5 comma 4, B negative 3 comma 6, C negative 3 comma 4, and D negative 1 comma 4

Square WXYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 3 to create square W'X'Y'Z'. Which point is the center of dilation?

B
A
D
C

Answer 1

The point C at a coordinate of (-3, 4) is the center of dilation of shapes WXYZ to W'X'Y'Z'

How to determine the center of dilation?

The coordinates are given as:

• W = (-4, 3) X = (-2, 3) Y = (-4, 1) Z = (-2, 1)
• W' = (-6, 1) X' = (0, 1) Y' = (-6, -5) Z' = (0, -6)
• A = (-5, 4) B = (-3, 6) C = (-3, 4) D = (-1, 4)

Next, we plot the points on a coordinate plane

From the plane (see attachment), we can see that the point C at a coordinate of (-3, 4) is at the center of both shapes, and it is 1 unit from WXYZ and 3 units from W'X'Y'Z'.

Hence, the point C is the center of dilation
