A polygon has vertices A(1,1), B(1, 4), C(4, 4). This figure is dilated by a factor of 3 and center of dilation (-1, 4). Find the coordinates of the polygon after dilation.

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

New coordinate = [old coordinate - dilation center]* scale factor + dilation center

So,

For A(1,1)

[tex][(1,1)-(-1,4)]*3+(-1,4)\\(2,-3)*3+(-1,4)\\(6,-9)+(-1,4)\\(5,-5)[/tex]

For B(1,4)

[tex][(1,4)-(-1,4)]*3+(-1,4)\\(2,0)*3+(-1,4)\\(6,0)+(-1,4)\\(5,4)[/tex]

For C(4,4)

[tex][(4,4)-(-1,4)]*3+(-1,4)\\(5,0)*3+(-1,4)\\(15,0)+(-1,4)\\(14,0)[/tex]

Therefore these (5,-5) , (5,4) and (14,0) are the new coordinates of polygon after dilation.
