10 points & Brainliest - What are the coordinates of vertex J of the pre-image?

ANSWER
(0,-4)
EXPLANATION
The coordinates of J' are (0,-2).
Let the coordinates of J be (a,b).
Then we apply the rule of the dilation to get,
.
[tex]J( a, b)\to J'( \frac{1}{2} a, \frac{1}{2} b)[/tex]
This implies that,
[tex] \frac{1}{2} a = 0[/tex]
[tex]a = 0[/tex]
And also,
[tex] \frac{1}{2} b = - 2[/tex]
[tex]b = - 4[/tex]
Hence the vertex J of the preimage is
(0,-4)
The first choice is correct.
Answer:
(0, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation rule of [tex]D_{O,\frac{1 }{2}}(x,y) \longrightarrow (\frac{1 }{2 }x, \frac{1 }{2 }y)[/tex] means that the coordinates of each point in the pre-image must be divided by 2.
So, we must multiply the coordinates of each point in the image by 2 to get back to the pre-image.
The coordinates of vertex J' are (0, -2), so those of J must have been (0, -4).
Vertex J moved to the origin along the ray until its coordinates were halved.
