A Line Segment has the points (1,-2), and (3,-2). What are the new points after its dilated by a scale factor of 3/2 or 1.5?

Respuesta :

Answer: (1.5,-3) and (4.5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation rule to dilate a point (x,y) by a scaler factor of  k is given by :0

[tex](x,y)\to (kx,ky)[/tex]

Given: A Line Segment has the points (1,-2), and (3,-2).

Scale factor = 1.5

Then, the new points after dilation will be :

[tex](1,-2)\to(1.5\times1,\ 1.5\times-2)=(1.5,\ -3)[/tex]

[tex](3,-2)\to (1.5\times3,1.5\times-2)=(4.5,\ -3)[/tex]

Hence, the  new points after its dilated by a scale factor of = (1.5,-3) and (4.5, -3)
