How to Graph Transformation on the Coordinate Plane: Dilation?

How to graph transformation on the coordinate plane: dilation, step by step: the rule in plain language, solved examples worked one line at a time, and practice questions so you can try it yourself before moving on.

Transformation: Dilation, Example 1:

Transformation: Dilation, Example 2:

Solution:

: First, find the original coordinates:

(A=(-4, 0)) (B=(0, 2)) (C=(2, 0)) (D=(-2, -4))

Next, take all of the coordinates, and multiply them by (0.5):

(A^prime=(-2, 0)) (B^prime=(0, 1)) (C^prime=(1, 0)) (D^prime=(-1, -2))

Now, graph the new image.
