Q. Graph the image of △TUV after a dilation with a scale factor of 5 , centered at the origin.
Identify Coordinates: First, we need to identify the coordinates of the vertices of triangle TUV. Let's assume the original coordinates of T, U, and V are (x1,y1), (x2,y2), and (x3,y3) respectively. Since the problem does not provide specific coordinates, we will use these variables to represent them.
Apply Dilation: Next, we apply the dilation with a scale factor of 5, centered at the origin. To do this, we multiply the x and y coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor. The new coordinates for each vertex will be (5x1,5y1), (5x2,5y2), and (5x3,5y3).
Plot New Coordinates: Now, we plot the new coordinates on a graph. We draw points at (5x1,5y1), (5x2,5y2), and (5x3,5y3). These points represent the vertices of the dilated triangle T′U′V′.
Connect Points: After plotting the points, we connect them with straight lines to form the dilated triangle T′U′V′. This triangle will be 5 times larger than the original triangle TUV, and its shape will be similar to the original triangle.
