Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to make a bigger version of the shape, **three times** bigger, by stretching it out from the center of the graph. Watch out! Don't just add 3 to each coordinate!
We need to *multiply* by the **scale factor**, which is **3**.

STEP 2

1. Dilate Point P
2. Dilate Point Q
3. Dilate Point R
4. Dilate Point N

STEP 3

Alright, let's **start with point P**!
Its current coordinates are (3,1) (3, 1) .
We're dilating by a factor of **3** centered at the origin.
This means we **multiply** each coordinate by our **scale factor** of **3**.

STEP 4

So, the new x-coordinate of P, let's call it P', will be 33=9 3 \cdot 3 = 9 .
And the new y-coordinate will be 31=3 3 \cdot 1 = 3 .
That gives us P' at (9,3) (9, 3) .
Boom!

STEP 5

Next up is **point Q**, currently at (2,3) (-2, 3) .
Remember, we **multiply** each coordinate by our **scale factor** of **3**.

STEP 6

The new x-coordinate of Q' will be 3(2)=6 3 \cdot (-2) = -6 .
The new y-coordinate will be 33=9 3 \cdot 3 = 9 .
So, Q' lands at (6,9) (-6, 9) .
Fantastic!

STEP 7

Now for **point R**, starting at (3,0) (-3, 0) .
We're still **multiplying** by **3**.

STEP 8

The new x-coordinate of R' is 3(3)=9 3 \cdot (-3) = -9 .
The new y-coordinate is 30=0 3 \cdot 0 = 0 .
R' is chilling at (9,0) (-9, 0) .
Nice!

STEP 9

Finally, let's tackle **point N**, currently at (1,2) (1, -2) .
We're **multiplying** by our **scale factor** of **3**.

STEP 10

The new x-coordinate of N' is 31=3 3 \cdot 1 = 3 .
The new y-coordinate is 3(2)=6 3 \cdot (-2) = -6 .
So, N' is hanging out at (3,6) (3, -6) .
Perfect!

STEP 11

The new dilated quadrilateral is formed by the points P'(9,3)(9, 3), Q'(6,9)(-6, 9), R'(9,0)(-9, 0), and N'(3,6)(3, -6).
Plot these points on the graph, connect the dots, and you've got your dilated image!
