Triangle TUV is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5.
The cent of dilation is point T
T = -5 U = -2 V = -4
What are the coordinates of V?
A. (-5, -10)
B. (-2, -6.5)
C. (-2, -10)
D. (-0.5, -6.5)
E. (2.5, -10)
To find the coordinates of the dilated point V, you need to multiply the coordinates of the original point V by the scale factor of 2.5.
The coordinates of the original point V are (-4, -10).
To apply the dilation, multiply each coordinate by 2.5:
x-coordinate of the dilated point V = -4 * 2.5 = -10
y-coordinate of the dilated point V = -10 * 2.5 = -25
Therefore, the coordinates of the dilated point V are (-10, -25).
None of the given options match this result, so none of the answer choices are correct.
what do you mean by saying "T = -5" ?
Generally, points are designated with two coordinates.
In any case, just multiply the lengths of sides TU and TV by 2.5
