A triangle has corners at (3, 1 )(3,1), ( 2, 3 )(2,3), and ( 2 , 6 )(2,6). If the triangle is dilated by 1/5 x15x around (1, 1)(1,1), what will the new coordinates of its corners be?

color(indigo)("New coordinates are " (7/5,1), (6/5,7/5), (6/5,2)New coordinates are (75,1),(65,75),(65,2)

Explanation:

A(3,1), B(2,3), C(2,6), " about point " D (1,1), " dilation factor "1/5A(3,1),B(2,3),C(2,6), about point D(1,1), dilation factor 15

A'((x),(y)) =(1/5)a - (-4/5)d =(1/5)*((3),(1)) - (-4/5)*((1),(1)) = ((7/5),(1))

B'((x),(y)) = (1/5)b - (-4/5)d = (1/5)*((2),(3)) - (-4/5)*((1),(1)) = ((6/5),(7/5))

C'((x),(y)) = (1/5)c - (-4/5)d = (1/5)*((2),(6)) - (-4/5)*((1),(1)) = ((6/5),(2))

color(indigo)("New coordinates are " (7/5,1), (6/5,7/5), (6/5,2)
