Given:
Endpoint of segment AB are A(0,2), B(2,3).
Segment AB is dilated from the origin to create segment A prime B prime at A' (0, 4) and B' (4, 6).
To find:
The scale factor of dilation.
Solution:
If a figure is dilated about the origin with factor k, then
[tex](x,y)\to (kx,ky)[/tex]
Using this rule, we get
[tex]A(0,2)\to A'(k(0),k(2))[/tex]
[tex]A(0,2)\to A'(0,2k)[/tex]
So, the image of A is A'(0,2k).
It is given that image of A is A'(0,4). So,
[tex]A'(0,2k)=A'(0,4)[/tex]
On comparing the y-coordinates from both sides, we get
[tex]2k=4[/tex]
[tex]k=\dfrac{4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]k=2[/tex]
Therefore, the scale factor is 2 and the correct option is B.
Dilation involves changing the size of a line
The scale factor is 2.
From the graph, the coordinates of AB are:
[tex]\mathbf{A = (0,2)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{B = (2,3)}[/tex]
The coordinates of AB are:
[tex]\mathbf{A' = (0,4)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{B' = (4,6)}[/tex]
Divide A' by A or B' by B to calculate the scale ratio (k)
[tex]\mathbf{k = \frac{A'}{A}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{k = \frac{(0,4)}{(0,2)}}[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\mathbf{k = \frac{2(0,2)}{(0,2)}}\\[/tex]
Divide
[tex]\mathbf{k = 2}\\\\\\\\[/tex]
Hence, the scale factor is 2.
