Triangle abc is being dilated with the center of dilation at the origin. the image of c, point c' has coordinates of (7.2, 3.6). what is the scale factor of the dilation and what are the coordinates of point a'

General Idea:

When we are given a point P(x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by P' (kx, ky)

Applying the concept:

In the diagram given, the coordinate of C is (6, 3). Triangle ABC is being dilated with the center of dilation at the origin. The image of C, point C' has coordinates of (7.2, 3.6).

If C (x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by C' (kx, ky)

We know &

Substituting 6 for x in the equation , we get .

Dividing 6 on both sides

Simplifying fractions on both sides

Point A from the diagram is (-3, 3)

x-coordinate of A' =

y-coordinate of A' =

Point A' is given by (-3.6, 3.6)

Conclusion:

Scale factor of dilation is 1.2

The coordinates of point A' is (-3.6, 3.6)

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076
