1. Determine the result point coordinates of point P(3,7) by dilation (O,3)

X= 3 Y= 7 K= 3 X' = K X
Y' = K Y

X' K 0 X
= X' = 3 x 3
Y' 0 K Y
=9
Y' = 3 x 7
X' 3 0 3 = 21
=
Y' 0 3 7

X' 9
=
Y' 21
2. Determine the coordinates result of point from point Q(-8,5) by dilation of
D(M,4) with M(2,3)

x = -8 k=4
y=5 a = 2b= 3

x' K 0 x-a a -38

= + x'
y' 0 K y-b b =
y' 11

x' = 4 0 -8 - 2 2

y' 0 4 5 -3 3 x' = a + k ( x - a)
= 2 + 4 (-8-2)
= 2 - 40
x' 4 0 -10 2 = - 38
= +
y' 0 4 2 3
y' = b + k ( y - b )

Find the line image 4x + 3y = 15 if it is dilated by D (O, 3)

Let (x, y) is the point on the line 4x + 3y = 15 then:

x' x' = 3x y' = 3y
K 0 x
y' = x'/3 = x y'/3 = y
0 K y
substitution
x' 3 0 x 4x + 3y = 15
y' = 0 3 y 4( x'/3) + 3(y'/3) = 15
x3
x' 3x 4x' + 3y' = 45
=
y' 3y

Find the image of the curve y = 3x 2 - 7x + 5 if it is dilated by (M, 2) by
M (3, -5)

Solution x' = 2x - 3
y' = 2y + 5
x' + 3 = 2x
y' - 5 = 2y
Let (x, y) be the point on the curve then: x' + 3 = x
y' - 5 = y

2y - 10 = 3x2 + 18x + 27 -14x - 42 + 20

2y - 10 = 3x2 + 18x + 27 -14x - 42 + 20

2y = 3x2 + 4x + 5 + 10
y = 3x2 + 4x +15
