4.5.21 Dilation Practice

A dilation is which of the following: 

• An enlargement

• A reduction

• Either an enlargement or a reduction

• Neither an enlargement or a reduction

If the scale factor is less than one, the new figure will be

• an enlargement

• a reduction

• a scale factor

• bigger

If the scale factor is greater than one, the new figure will be

• a reduction

• an enlargement

• a scale

• not proportional

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

• (1.5,-4)

• (-1.5,1)

• (-1,-1.5)

• (-2,-2)

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)

• (12,12)

• (4,3)

• (0,12)

Which of the following is the algebraic representation for a dilation?

• (x, y) → (x, 3y)

• (x, y) → (3x, 3y)

• (x, y) → (x, y - 3)

• (x, y) → (.5x, .4y)

The point (8, 12) was dilated to become point (2, 3). What was the scale factor?

• ½

• ¼

• 4

• 2

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2

• 3

• 1/3

• 1/2

Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation. What are the coordinates of the image?
A(3,3) B(6,6) C(9,3)

• A'(9,9) B'(18,18) C'(27,9)

• A'(6,6) B'(9,9) C'(12,6)

• A'(0,0) B'(3,3) C'(6,0)

• A'(1,1) B'(2,2) C'(3,1)

What is the scale factor shown in the dilation shown?

• 5

• 1/5

• 10
