Find the point obtained by dilating (0,6) by a scale factor of 1/3 around the origin.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original point is (0,6)(0,6). The dilation is centered at the origin (0,0)
3. The scale factor of the dilation is 13\frac{1}{3}

STEP 2

In a dilation, each coordinate of the original point is multiplied by the scale factor to get the coordinates of the image.Image(x,y)=(Originalx×Scalefactor,Originaly×Scalefactor)Image(x,y) = (Original\, x \times Scale\, factor, Original\, y \times Scale\, factor)

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the original point and the scale factor to calculate the image.
Image(x,y)=(0×13,6×13)Image(x,y) = (0 \times \frac{1}{3},6 \times \frac{1}{3})

STEP 4

Calculate the x-coordinate of the image.
Imagex=0×13=0Image\, x =0 \times \frac{1}{3} =0

STEP 5

Calculate the y-coordinate of the image.
Imagey=×13=2Image\, y = \times \frac{1}{3} =2

STEP 6

Now that we have the x and y coordinates of the image, we can write them as a coordinate pair.
Image=(Imagex,Imagey)Image = (Image\, x, Image\, y)

STEP 7

Plug in the values for the image x and y to get the image point.
Image=(0,2)Image = (0,2)The image of (0,6)(0,6) after a dilation by a scale factor of 13\frac{1}{3} centered at the origin is (0,2)(0,2).
