A point has coordinates $\left(-20,5\right)$(20,5).

Determine the resulting coordinates after each of the following sequences of transformations (each sequence is applied separately):

a

Dilate by a scale factor of $1.4$1.4.

$\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,)

b

Reflect across the $x$x-axis and then dilate by a scale factor of $3$3.

$\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,)

c

Rotate $270^\circ$270° counterclockwise about the origin and then dilate by a scale factor of $\frac{1}{5}$15.

Outcomes

G.RLT.3ci

Given an image or preimage, identify the transformation or combination of transformations that has/have occurred. Transformations include: i) translations;

G.RLT.3cii

Given an image or preimage, identify the transformation or combination of transformations that has/have occurred. Transformations include: ii) reflections over any horizontal or vertical line or the lines y = x or y = -x;

G.RLT.3ciii

Given an image or preimage, identify the transformation or combination of transformations that has/have occurred. Transformations include: iii) clockwise or counterclockwise rotations of 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360° on a coordinate grid where the center of rotation is limited to the origin;

G.RLT.3civ

Given an image or preimage, identify the transformation or combination of transformations that has/have occurred. Transformations include: iv) dilations, from a fixed point on a coordinate grid.

G.TR.3

The student will, given information in the form of a figure or statement, prove and justify two triangles are similar using direct and indirect proofs, and solve problems, including those in context, involving measured attributes of similar triangles.

G.TR.3d

Describe a sequence of transformations that can be used to verify similarity of triangles located in the same plane.
