Question

Triangle ABC has vertices A(−4, 3) , B(2, 3) , and C(−5, 1) . A dilation with a scale factor of 5 and center at the origin is applied to this triangle.

What are the coordinates of C′ in the dilated image?

Enter your answer in the boxes.

C′ has a coordinate pair of (
,
)

Answer 1

The coordinates of C' would be (-25, 5).

We multiply the coordinates of every point by 5:

-5*5 = -25; 1*5 = 5.
