Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

( -1.5 , 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

When dilating a point we divide or multiply the coordinates by whatever the scale factor is

Because the scale factor is 1/2 we just have to divide the coordinates of point B by 2

Preimage coordinates - ( -3 , 2 )

-3/2=-1.5 or -3/5

2/2=1

Dilated image coordinates ( -1.5 , 1 )

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
