Dilating a Point on a Graph
Dilate the point B(-4,5) by a scale factor of 3 with the center at the origin.
Identify the coordinates of the pre-image.
B(4,5)
Identify the scale factor.
Scale factor: n = 3
Multiply the scale factor by each coordinate of the pre-image to find the coordinates of the image.
B'(3(-4), 3(5))
The image point B' has coordinates BU
