Dilations (Part 1)

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)

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2

• 3

• 1/3

• 1/2

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

• ½

• ¼

• 4

• 2

A dilation is which of the following: 

• only an enlargement

• only a reduction

• Either an enlargement or a reduction

• Neither an enlargement or a reduction

In a dilation what mathematical operation is used with the scale factor?

• addition 

• subtraction 

• multiplication 

• division 

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 1/2.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/2.

Rectangle ABCD is dilated so that the coordinates of C' are (2, -1).  What could be the dilation rule?

• (-2x, +1y)

• (1/2 x, 1/2 y)

• (2x, 2y)

• (x - 2, y - 1)

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 3.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/3.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.
