A triangle has coordinates at A(-2,0) B(-4,4) and C(1, 6). What are the new locations of the coordinates after a dilation by a scale factor of 4? Answer each box with: x,y (do not put spaces in your response)

To find the new coordinates after a dilation by a scale factor of 4, you multiply each coordinate by the scale factor.

  1. For point A(-2, 0):

    • New A = (-2 * 4, 0 * 4) = (-8, 0)

  2. For point B(-4, 4):

    • New B = (-4 * 4, 4 * 4) = (-16, 16)

  3. For point C(1, 6):

    • New C = (1 * 4, 6 * 4) = (4, 24)

The new coordinates after dilation are:

  • A(-8,0)
  • B(-16,16)
  • C(4,24)

So the final answer is: -8,0 -16,16 4,24
