Question

Line segment AB has endpoints A (-6,4) and B (-8,2). Find the coordinates of A' and B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2, centered at the origin.

Answer 1

thanks so much bot :D

Answer 2

To find the coordinates of A' and B', we can multiply the x and y coordinates of each point by the scale factor of 1/2.

For A(-6, 4), A' will have coordinates (x', y') = (-6 * 1/2, 4 * 1/2) = (-3, 2).

For B(-8, 2), B' will have coordinates (x', y') = (-8 * 1/2, 2 * 1/2) = (-4, 1).

Therefore, A' is located at (-3, 2) and B' is located at (-4, 1).
