The line segment AB with endpoints A (–3, 6) and B (9, 12) is dilated with a scale factor 2∕3 about the origin. Find the endpoints of the dilated line segment. answers: A) (4, –2), (6, 8) B) (–2, 4), (6, 8) C) (–2, 4), (8, 6) D) (2, 4), (6, 8)

B. The endpoint of the dilated line is (-2,4),(6,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Line segment AB

Endpoints: A(-3,6) and B(9,12)

Scale Factor: 2/3 about the origin

Required

Find the end points of the dilated line

From the question, we understand that the line segment is dilated about the origin;

The keywords about the origin implies that, to get the endpoints of the dilated line, we simply multiply the coordinates of of the original line by the scale factor;

This is shown below;

The new endpoints become

The new endpoints become

Hence, the endpoint of the dilated line is (-2,4),(6,8)

step-by-step explanation:

#12 the answer is the third option
