Triangle PQR is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5 to form triangle P′Q′R′. This triangle is then dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form triangle P″Q″R″. If vertex P is at (3, -4) and vertex Q is at (5, -1), what are the coordinates of vertices P″ and Q″?

Answer:

Answer:  The correct option is (D) P″(9, -12) and Q″(15, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that triangle PQR is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5 to form triangle P′Q′R′. This triangle is then dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form triangle P″Q″R″.

The co-ordinates of vertices P and Q are (3, -4) and (5, -1) respectively.

We are to find the co-ordinates of the vertices P″ and Q″.

Case I :  ΔPQR dilated to ΔP'Q'R'

The co-ordinates of P' and Q' are given by

Case II :  ΔP'Q'R' dilated to ΔP''Q''R''

The co-ordinates of P'' and Q'' are given by

Thus, the co-ordinates of the vertices P'' and Q'' are (9, -12) and (15, -3).

Option (D) is CORRECT.
