Quadrilateral WXYZ was dilated on a coordinate grid with the origin as the center of dilation to create quadrilateral W’X’Y’Z’. The vertices of quadrilateral WXYZ and quadrilateral W’X’Y’Z’ are listed below.
W (─4, ─4), X (─2, 5), Y (0 ,0), Z (1, ─5)
W’ (─2, ─2), X’ (─1, 2.5), Y’ (0, 0), Z’ (0.5, -2.5)
What is the rule that represents this dilation?
The rule that represents this dilation is:
(x, y) -> (0.5x, 0.5y)
