To perform a dilation centered at the origin, we multiply the coordinates of each point by the scale factor.
Question 1:
For point Y = (1, 2):
- Dilation with a scale factor of 4: \[ Y' = (4 \cdot 1, 4 \cdot 2) = (4, 8) \] Thus, the coordinates of point Y after the dilation are (4, 8).
Question 2:
For point W = (-2, -3):
- Dilation with a scale factor of 4: \[ W' = (4 \cdot -2, 4 \cdot -3) = (-8, -12) \] Thus, the coordinates of point W after the dilation are (-8, -12).
