The rule for the dilation of quadrilateral QRST to the image Q'R'S'T' is DO,0.5(x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y). What are the coordinates of Q', if Q(0, 2)?
Accepted Solution
A:
Applying the rule for dilation, we will multiply the scale factor to its coordinates. Having Q (0,2) and DO 0.5(x.y), the coordinates of Q' will be: x = (.5)(0) = 0y = (.5)(2) = 1 Therefore coordinates of Q' is (0,1) *Having a scale factor of >1, the figure is said to be reduced.
