triangle TUV is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5. the center of the dilation is point T. The coordinate for T is (-5, 0), U is (-2, 0), V is (-2, -4), what is the coordinate of V before dilated?

Answer 1

To find the coordinate of point V before dilation, we need to reverse the dilation process by dividing the coordinates of V after dilation by the scale factor of 2.5.

Before dilation:
Coordinates of V = (-2/2.5, -4/2.5)
Coordinates of V = (-0.8, -1.6)

Therefore, the coordinate of point V before dilation is (-0.8, -1.6).
