Relating back to my question below I think I have it..
I multiplied the coordinates by 2 and got..
V 12 4
W -4 8
X -6 -4
Y 6 -10
Here is my question of the previous post..
The coordinates of quadrilateral VWXY Are given below. Find the coordinates of its image after a dilation with the given scale factor V(6, 2), W(-2, 4), X(-3, -2), Y(3, -5) scale factor of 2
That's better, but express them a as pair of coordinates. (12,4) not just 12 4.
Great! It seems like you've correctly multiplied the coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral VWXY by a scale factor of 2 to find their corresponding images after dilation.
To find the image coordinates after a dilation, you simply multiply each coordinate (x, y) of the original point by the scale factor.
For example, let's take the first vertex V(6, 2). To find its image after dilation with a scale factor of 2, you would multiply each coordinate by 2:
x-coordinate of image = 6 * 2 = 12
y-coordinate of image = 2 * 2 = 4
So, the image of V(6, 2) after dilation is V'(12, 4).
Similarly, you can multiply the coordinates of the other vertices W(-2, 4), X(-3, -2), and Y(3, -5) by 2 to find their corresponding images after dilation.
Here are the image coordinates for each vertex:
W(-2, 4) -> W'(-4, 8)
X(-3, -2) -> X'(-6, -4)
Y(3, -5) -> Y'(6, -10)
Therefore, the coordinates of the image quadrilateral V'W'X'Y' after dilation with a scale factor of 2 are:
V'(12, 4), W'(-4, 8), X'(-6, -4), and Y'(6, -10).
