Dilations on the Coordinate Plane (8th)

A dilation is which of the following:

• only an enlargement

• neither an enlargement or reduction

• only a reduction

• both an enlargement and a reduction

Dilation rules use ______________ to change the ___________ of a shape. 

• addition; location
• division; direction
• subtraction; orientation
• multiplication; size

How do you write the algebraic notation when the scale factor is 3?

• (x, y) goes to (1/3x, 1/3y)
• (x, y) goes to (-3x, -3y)
• (x, y) goes to (x + 3, y + 3)
• (x, y) goes to (3x, 3y)

Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 3. 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)

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)
• (12,12)
• (4,3)
• (0,12)

Triangle ABC will be dilated by a scale factor of 1/2.  What will be the coordinates of C'?

• (-1, -2.5)
• (12, 6)
• (3, -1.5)
• (0, 1.5)

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

• (1.5,-4)
• (-1.5,1)
• (-1,-1.5)
• (-2,-2)

When A(3, 6) is under a dilation of 2 what are the coordinates of A'?

• (3, 6)

• (1.5, 3)

• (6, 12)

• (12, 6)

When a dilation has a scale factor greater than one, the dilation is an enlargement.

• True
• False

When the scale factor of a dilation is less than one, the dilation is a reduction.

• True
• False
