A line segment has endpoints at (7 ,6 )(7,6) and (9 ,2 )(9,2). The line segment is dilated by a factor of 4 4 around (4 ,3 )(4,3). What are the new endpoints and length of the line segment?

"please have a look the animation below"please have a look the animation below

"The new end points of line segment are :"F(16,15),I(24,-1)The new end points of line segment are :F(16,15),I(24,1)

"Length of the line segment is :"17.89Length of the line segment is :17.89

Explanation:

"the coordinates of point F:"the coordinates of point F:

CJ*"factor"=3*4=12CJfactor=34=12

4+12=16" the x coordinate of F"4+12=16 the x coordinate of F

AJ*"factor"=3*4=12AJfactor=34=12

3+12=15"the y coordinate of F"3+12=15the y coordinate of F

F(16,15)F(16,15)

"the coordinates of I Point:"the coordinates of I Point:

ZB*"factor"=5*4=20ZBfactor=54=20

4+20=24" the x coordinate of I"4+20=24 the x coordinate of I

CZ*"factor"=1*4=4CZfactor=14=4

3-4=-1" the y coordinate of I")34=1 the y coordinate of I)

I=(24,-1)I=(24,1)

"the length of line segment FI :"the length of line segment FI :

FI=sqrt((16-24)^2+(15+1)^2)

FI=sqrt(64+256)FI=64+256

FI=sqrt(320)FI=320

FI=17.89FI=17.89
