Math Problem Statement
What are the coordinates of the image of L for a dilation with center (0, 0) and scale factor 4?
Solution
The question asks for the coordinates of the image of point after a dilation with a center at and a scale factor of 4.
To solve this:
-
The formula for dilation with a center at the origin is , where is the scale factor, and are the original coordinates.
-
For point :
- Apply the scale factor of 4 to the - and -coordinates: So, the new coordinates of the image of are .
This would be the image of point after the dilation.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
- How do you apply a dilation to points not centered at the origin?
- What happens to the distance between points after a dilation with a certain scale factor?
- How does a dilation affect the slope of a line?
- What would happen if the scale factor was less than 1?
- How would the dilation change if the center of dilation were not the origin?
Tip: When dilating points, always multiply both the - and -coordinates by the scale factor, and ensure the center of dilation is taken into account.
