A graph.Short description, A graph.,Long description,
On a coordinate plane, rectangle W, X, Y, Z, is centered about the origin and has coordinates: W (negative 3, 1), X (3, 1), Y (3, negative 1), Z (negative 3, negative 1).
Question
What are the coordinates of W prime after a dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
the point negative 3 comma 1
B.
the point negative 3 comma 2
C.
the point negative 6 comma 1
D.
the point negative 6 comma 2
To find the coordinates of W prime after a dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin, we need to multiply each coordinate of W by 2.
The coordinates of W are (-3, 1).
Multiplying each coordinate by 2, we get:
(-3 * 2, 1 * 2) = (-6, 2)
Therefore, the coordinates of W prime after the dilation are (-6, 2).
The answer is option D.
