- Dilation
A triangle has vertices (2, –3), (–6, 2), and (0, 4). If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 through center (0, 0), what are the image vertices? Draw the preimage and image on the coordinate plane.
- Start with one vertex and multiply each coordinate by the scale factor, .
- Repeat the process with another vertex. Multiply each coordinate of the vertex by the scale factor.
- Repeat the process for the last vertex. Multiply each coordinate of the vertex by the scale factor.
- List the image vertices.
- Draw the preimage and image on the coordinate plane.
