Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Triangle ABC has vertices A(3, 2), B(1, 1), and C(4, 5). If the triangle is moved to D(3, -1) with a scale factor of -3, find the coordinates of D'.

💡 Hint: Remember the negative sign reverses the triangle's orientation.

Challenge 2 Hard

A shape is oriented at point (5, 5). If it is subjected to a dilation with a scale factor of 2, what will be the coordinates of the transformed shape?

💡 Hint: Multiply both coordinates by the scale factor for dilation.
