Solution
The problem asks for the coordinates of after a dilation of triangle with a scale factor of 3. The original coordinates of are .
A dilation with a scale factor multiplies both the - and -coordinates of a point by . Therefore, for point with a scale factor of 3, the coordinates of will be:
Thus, the coordinates of are .
The correct answer is , which matches the third option.
Would you like further details on dilation or any other part of this concept?
Here are five questions that extend this concept:
- What are the coordinates of after a dilation with the same scale factor?
- How would the coordinates of change with a scale factor of 2 instead of 3?
- What happens to the shape and size of a triangle after a dilation?
- How would you reverse a dilation? What is the scale factor needed for that?
- What is the effect of a negative scale factor on dilation?
Tip: To perform dilations, always multiply both coordinates of a point by the scale factor.
