If triangle QRS is dilated by a scale factor of 15 through the origin which of the following points represents the coordinates of R class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

-.4/.2

Step-by-step explanation:

take the points and divide them from 1/5

Dilation involves changing the size of triangle QRS

The coordinates of R' are (-2/5, 1/5)

The coordinate of R is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{R =(-2,1)}[/tex]

The scale factor is given as 1/5; i.e.

[tex]\mathbf{k = \frac 15}[/tex]

The dilation occurs through the origin,

So, the coordinates of R' is calculated using:

[tex]\mathbf{R' = k \times R}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{R' = \frac 15 \times (-2,1)}[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]\mathbf{R' = (-\frac 25,\frac 15)}[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of R' are (-2/5, 1/5)
