15: Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 0.5 with the origin as the center of dilation. Where would point (2,-4) be located after the dilation?

i did it myself and i got 4.2 (b) hope its right

step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution
