When a point on a triangle is dilated, the coordinate of the vertex changes

The coordinate of the vertex after the dilation is (-1.5,4)

How to determine the coordinate after dilation

The given parameters are:

(x,y) = (-3,8)

k = 0.5

To calculate the coordinate of the vertex after the dilation, we make use of:

(x,y)' = k * (x,y)

So, we have:

(x,y)' = 0.5 * (-3,8)

Evaluate the product

(x,y)' = (-1.5,4)

Hence, the coordinate of the vertex after the dilation is (-1.5,4)
