Chapter 14.5, Problem 8CE

To determine

To find what dilation with center O maps C to the point $\left(-6,0\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 8CE

The dilation $D_{O,-2}$ maps C to the point $\left(-6,0\right)$ with center O.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given points are:

  

Calculation:

The solution can be obtained by:

  $C\text{'}=-2\cdot C\left(3,0\right)=C\text{'}\left(-6,0\right)$

Hence, the dilation $D_{O,-2}$ maps C to the point $\left(-6,0\right)$ with center O.
