Answer:
The graph is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope of the line that would pass through the point of dilation, (-3, 0), and each vertex.
From (-3, 0) to (5, 4), the slope would be
m = (4-0)/(5--3) = 4/8
Since the scale factor is 1/2, this means each part of the slope would be multiplied by this scale factor:
(4(1/2))/(8(1/2)) = 2/4
This means from our point of dilation we count up 2 and over 4; this puts the new point at (-3+4, 0+2) = (1, 2).
From (-3, 0) to (3, 8) the slope is
m = (8-0)/(3--3) = 8/6
Multiplying the rise and run by 1/2, we have
(8(1/2))/(6(1/2)) = 4/3
This means the dilated point would be up 4 and over 3 from (-3, 0), putting it at (-3+3, 0+4) = (0, 4).
From (-3, 0) to (-5, 4), the slope is
m = (4-0)/(-5--3) = 4/-2.
Multiplying the rise and run by 1/2, we have
(4(1/2))/(-2(1/2)) = 2/-1
This means the dilated point would be up 2 and over -1 from (-3, 0), putting it at (-3+-1, 0+2) = (-4, 2).
These three vertices give us the dilated figure.
