Question

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)

Answer 1

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
