If a triangle’s vertex at (2, 2) is enlarged by a scale factor of -3, what are the new vertices if the triangle initially has vertices at (0, 0), (0, 3), and (4, 0)?
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the scale factor carefully to each vertex.
A square has a side of length 5. If the square is dilated by a scale factor of -2, what is the area of the dilated square, and how does it relate to the original area?
