Question

A line segment AB has coordinates of (4,1) for A and (5,7) for B, If the segment is Dilated about the origin with a scale factor of 8 what will be the coordinates of A'? (_____,_____)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of point A' after dilation about the origin with a scale factor of 8, we multiply the coordinates of point A by the scale factor.

Point A has coordinates (4, 1).

Using the scale factor of 8:

\[
A' = (4 * 8, 1 * 8) = (32, 8)
\]

So the coordinates of A' are \( (32, 8) \).
