The coordinates of quadrilateral VXY 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
Do I just multiply the coordinates by each other??
V(12 x 4)
W(-4 x 8)
X(-6 x -4)
Y(6 x -10)
If not, help!
V(12,4)
W(-4,8)
X(-6,-4)
Y(6,-10)
Ok.. so I'd do 12 x 2, 4 x 2
or 12 + 4 x 2?
To find the coordinates of the image after dilation, you need to multiply each coordinate of the quadrilateral by the given scale factor. However, your calculations are incorrect. Let me guide you through the correct process.
First, let's list the original coordinates of quadrilateral VXY:
V(6, 2)
W(-2, 4)
X(-3, -2)
Y(3, -5)
Next, multiply each coordinate by the given scale factor of 2:
V(6 x 2, 2 x 2) = V(12, 4)
W(-2 x 2, 4 x 2) = W(-4, 8)
X(-3 x 2, -2 x 2) = X(-6, -4)
Y(3 x 2, -5 x 2) = Y(6, -10)
Therefore, after dilating the quadrilateral VXY by a scale factor of 2, the coordinates of its image are:
V(12, 4)
W(-4, 8)
X(-6, -4)
Y(6, -10)
So, your initial attempt to multiply the coordinates was correct, but the calculations were inaccurate.
No, you multiply each coordinate by the scale factor: 2
That's what the scale factor is for.
what can it possibly mean to multiply x-values by y-values? You are trying to convert a point into a number. Bogus...
NO
Take each point and double its coordinates. Stop trying to get rid of the coordinates. The problem says to come up with a new list of coordinates for the expanded diagram.
(6,2) becomes (12,4)
