Question

The new coordinates of the Point A when the given square is dilated by a scale factor of 3 are . The dilation is centered at the origin.

• A. (2,6)
• B. (-6,6)
• C. (6,6)
• D. (6,-6)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (6,6)


Coordinates of Point A = (2,2)
Scale factor = 3

On resizing, we observe:
The new coordinates of the Point A are:
$xcoordinate=2\times scale=2\times 3=6$
$ycoordinate=2\times scale=2\times 3=6$

∴ The new coordinates of A after resizing are (6,6).

Representing the new coordinates by A', B', C', and D', the new dilated figure is:
