Dilations Math

A triangle has vertices with coordinates (2,0), (3, -1) and (-2,-5). If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, what are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

• (5,3), (6,2), (1,-2)

• (6,0), (9,-3), (-6,-15)

• (2/3,0), (1,-1/3), (-2/3,-5/3)

• (-1,-3), (0,-4), (-5,-8)

A scale factor of less than one means

• that the image will be larger than the pre-image.

• That the image will be the same as the pre-image.

• That you need to subtract that amount off  of each side.

• That the image will be a reduction of the pre-image.
