Answer:
(-6, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of B to start with is
(-2, 2)
To dilate this by a factor of 3....
-2 * 3 = -6
2 * 3 = 6
The new coordinates of B' would be
(-6, 6)
A few things to know:
- The number 3 is called a "scale factor"
- Dilation means we are multiplying all the (X, Y)'s by the scale factor
- If the scale factor is greater than 1, the size of the shape overall increases
- If the scale factor is less than 1, the size of the shape overall decreases
- If the scale factor is negative, the shape size stays the same. The shape just rotates 180 degrees and moves to the opposite quadrant.
