The point A = (7,4) is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3. What are the coordinates of A' ?

Given:

The coordinates of point A are (7,4).

It is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3.

To find:

The coordinates of A'.

Solution:

If a figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor k, then

Here, the figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor 3, so the rule of dilation is given by:

Using this rule, we get

Therefore, the coordinates of point A' are (21,12).

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
