Let A(8,3) be a point on rectangle ABCD. What are the coordinates of A' if the rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 2/3?
+2973 So, Point A is (8,3)
and the scale factor is 2/3, making it a reduction, or a smaller triangle, because the scale factor is less than 1, so you know that the coordinate is going to be plotted on a shorter scale
8 times by 2/3=5 1/3
3 times by 2/3=2
(never divide while dilating, otherwise the numbers become way bigger)
the coprdinate for A' is (5 1/3, 2)
