Question

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4, centered at the origin.U (-4, 0)U' (___,___)

Answer 1

Given the coordinates of the point U = ( -4 , 0 )

We need to make a dilation with a scale factor = 1/4, centered at the origin.

So, the coordinates of point U' =

$U^{\prime}=\frac{1}{4}\cdot(-4,0)=(-\frac{4}{4},\frac{0}{4})=(-1,0)$

So, the answer is U' = ( -1 , 0 )
