Introduction to Coordinate Geometry and Lines

Coordinate geometry is all about linking geometry (shapes) with algebra (numbers and equations). We use the Cartesian coordinate system, which is basically a grid formed by two perpendicular number lines: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical). Any point on this grid can be uniquely identified by an ordered pair (x, y).

Understanding Dilations

  1. Center of Dilation: This is a fixed point from which all measurements for the dilation are made. Think of it as the anchor point.
  2. Scale Factor (k): This number tells you how much the shape will grow or shrink.
    • If k > 1, the image will be larger (an enlargement).
    • If 0 < k < 1, the image will be smaller (a reduction).
    • If k = 1, the image will be the same size (no change).
    • If k < 0, the image will be dilated and also rotated 180 degrees around the center of dilation.
