Dilations Inside the Coordinate Plane
This page covers coordinate plane dilation steps and examples:
To dilate a figure inside the coordinate plane, multiply each coordinate of the pre-image by the scale factor.
Example: A triangle with vertices A−2,−2, B1,−1, and C0,2 is enlarged by a scale factor of 2. The resulting image has vertices A'−4,−4, B'2,−2, and C'0,4.
The page includes a visual representation of this dilation on a coordinate plane, helping students understand how the transformation affects the position and size of the figure.
