How can you determine the coordinates of any image that is dilated with the center of dilation at the origin without graphing? explain your reasoning.

The image of point (x , y) by dilation with center origin and scale factor k is (kx , ky)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about dilation

- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.  

- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the

 figure does not change.  

- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller  

  the image will be

- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger

- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

* In a problem  of dilation

∵ The center of dilation is the origin

∵ The scale factor of dilation is k

∵ The point is (x , y)

- In dilation with center origin and scale factor k to find the image

 of the point multiply each coordinates of the point by the scale

 factor k because the distance d between the point and the

 origin will be equal kd which is the distance between the origin

 and the image of the point d is depending on the coordinates

 of the point

∴ The image of point (x , y) by dilation with center origin and

   scale factor k is (kx , ky)

* Ex: If point A is (3 , 4)

∵ The distance from the origin to point A =

∵ The scale factor of dilation is 2 and the center is the origin

∴ The image of A is A' = (3 × 2 , 4 × 2) = (6 , 8)

∵ The distance from the origin to point A' =

∵ 10 ÷ 5 = 2 which is the value of the scale factor

∴ The image of point (x , y) by dilation with center origin and

   scale factor k is (kx , ky)
