Answer :
C. (4,-1) because delating (8,2)x1/2 would be (4,1) then using the algebraic description of the x-axis, it would be (x,y)->(x,-y) therefore it is (4,-1)
Answer:
- C) (4, -1)
-----------------------------
Apply both rules in order.
1) Dilation by a scale factor of 0.5
- (x, y) → (kx, ky)
- A(8, 2) → A'(8*0.5, 2*0.5) = A'(4, 1)
2) Reflection over the x-axis
- (x, y) → (x, - y)
- A'(4, 1) → A''(4, -1)
Correct choice is C.
