How to Graph Transformation on the Coordinate Plane: Dilation?
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.
