Question 1117591: find the image of the point under a dilation centered at (0,0) with the given scale factor.
(-3,0),Scale factor=5, i don't understand the scale factor Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The image is on the same line as the point and center of dilation,
but its distance to the center of dilation is as many times larger as the scale factor.
In this case, the point is ,
3 units to the left of the origin, .
The image of is .
When the center of dilation is the origin,
all you have to do to find the coordinates of the image
is multiply the coordinates of the point times the sale factor.
