if A (-3,-1) is dilated by a factor of 3 what is the new coordinate
Remember that a dilatation is going to grow your shape in this case : )
You will multiply your x coordinate by 3 and your y coordinate by 3 to obtain the new ordered pair : )
= (-3X3, -1 X 3)
= ....
To find the new coordinate after a dilation, we need to multiply each coordinate of the original point by the dilation factor.
Given that point A has coordinates (-3, -1) and is dilated by a factor of 3, we can find the new coordinates as follows:
New x-coordinate = dilation factor * original x-coordinate
= 3 * (-3)
= -9
New y-coordinate = dilation factor * original y-coordinate
= 3 * (-1)
= -3
Therefore, the new coordinate of point A after the dilation by a factor of 3 is (-9, -3).
To dilate a point, we multiply the coordinates of the point by the scaling factor. In this case, the scaling factor is 3.
Given the point A(-3, -1), to find the new coordinates after dilation, we need to multiply both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate by 3.
New x-coordinate = -3 * 3 = -9
New y-coordinate = -1 * 3 = -3
Therefore, the new coordinates of A after dilation by a factor of 3 is (-9, -3).
