Dilations in the Coordinate Plane CW

Front

What is a dilation in the coordinate plane?

Back

A transformation that produces a similar figure by enlarging or reducing it based on a scale factor.

Front

What does it mean when a dilation produces a similar figure?

Back

It means that the original figure and the dilated figure have the same shape but may differ in size.

Front

What is a scale factor in a dilation?

Back

A number that describes how much a figure is enlarged or reduced during a dilation.

Front

If the scale factor is greater than 1, what type of dilation is it?

Back

It is an enlargement.

Front

If the scale factor is less than 1, what type of dilation is it?

Back

It is a reduction.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A(3, 6) after a dilation with a scale factor of 2?

Back

(6, 12)

Front

What is the term for the figure before a transformation occurs?

Back

Pre-image.

Front

What is the term for the figure after a transformation occurs?

Back

Image.

Front

True or False: A dilation can only be an enlargement.

Back

False.

Front

True or False: A dilation with a scale factor of 1 results in the same figure.

Back

True.
