Question

a dilation has center (0,0). find the image of the point a(-8,4) for the scale factor 1.5.
a
(simplify your answer. type an ordered pair.)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the x - coordinate by the scale factor

The x - coordinate of point \(A\) is \(-8\). Multiply it by \(1.5\): \(-8\times1.5=-12\)

Step2: Multiply the y - coordinate by the scale factor

The y - coordinate of point \(A\) is \(4\). Multiply it by \(1.5\): \(4\times1.5 = 6\)

Answer:

\((-12,6)\)
