Answer:

(1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

you just have to multiply the coordinates by 1/4

4x1/4=1

-8x1/4=-2

so the new coordinates are (1,-2)

The image of the given point is (1,-2).

Important information:

  • The coordinates of the point are (4,-8).
  • Point is dilated by a scale factor of [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] centered at the origin.

Dilation:

If a point is dilated by a scale factor of [tex]k[/tex] centered at the origin, then the rule of dilation is defined as:

[tex](x,y)\to (kx,ky)[/tex]

Using the above rule, we get

[tex](4,-8)\to \left(\dfrac{1}{4}(4),\dfrac{1}{4}(-8)\right)[/tex]

[tex](4,-8)\to \left(1,-2\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the image of the given point is (1,-2).
