Pentagon PQRST is drawn on a coordinate plane below. what rule best represents a dilation to create pentagon PQRST with a scale factor of 1/2 and with the origin as the center of dilation?

Answer: [tex](x,y) \to (\dfrac12 x, \dfrac12 y)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of dilation with scale factor k and wither origin as center of dilation :
(x,y) → (kx, ky)
Here , [tex]k= \dfrac12[/tex] , center of dilation = Origin
Then, the rule best represents a dilation to create pentagon PQRST will be :
[tex](x,y) \to (\dfrac12 x, \dfrac12 y)[/tex]
