Line segment AB was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. what are the coordinates for the image 'A' and 'B' in the image?
To dilate a line segment by a scale factor of 1/2, we multiply the coordinates of each point by 1/2.
If the coordinates of point A are (x1, y1) and the coordinates of point B are (x2, y2), then the coordinates of the image points A' and B' would be:
A' = (1/2 * x1, 1/2 * y1)
B' = (1/2 * x2, 1/2 * y2)
So, the coordinates for the image points A' and B' would be (1/2 * x1, 1/2 * y1) and (1/2 * x2, 1/2 * y2) respectively.
