Math Problem Statement
Graph the image of △FGH after a dilation with a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to apply a dilation with a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin, to the vertices of triangle .
-
Original coordinates:
-
Dilating each point by a factor of 2: For dilation centered at the origin, each coordinate of a point is multiplied by the scale factor.
-
New coordinates after dilation:
To graph the dilated triangle, you would plot the new points , , and on the graph and connect them to form the new image of triangle .

Tip: When performing dilations, always multiply both the x- and y-coordinates of each point by the scale factor to get the image coordinates.
