The transformation of ΔRST by a third, is a contraction, such that the
coordinates of point R from the center of dilation is reduced.
The correct responses are;
- The distance between the x-coordinate of R and T is -3
- The distance between the y-coordinate of R and is 6
- R' is 1 unit to the left and 2 units up from T, so the coordinates of R' are (2, 0)
Reasons:
The dilation of ΔRST with the rule [tex]D_{T, \ 1/3} \, (x, \, y)[/tex], requires that we find a third
of the rise and run of the vertices from the center of dilation as follows;
- The coordinates of the vertices of ΔRST are; R(0, 4), S(0, -2), and T(3, -2).
The run;
- The distance between the x-coordinate of R and T = 0 - 3 = -3
The rise;
- The distance between the y-coordinate of R and T = 4 - (-2) = 6
- R' is (-3, 6) × [tex]\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)[/tex] = (-1, 2) from T
The coordinates of R' are
- [tex]D_{T, \ 1/3} \, R(0, \, 4)[/tex] = (3 + (-3) × [tex]\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)[/tex], -2 + 6 × [tex]\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)[/tex]) = (2, 0)
