A dilation is which of the following: 

• An enlargement
• A reduction
• Either an enlargement or a reduction
• Neither an enlargement or a reduction

Scale Factor means which of the following: 

• The scale one uses to measure the distance from zero. 
• The factor that shows by how much the prime image is scaled up or down. 
• The number that you add to the coordinates of the pre-image to find the coordinates of the prime image. 
• All of the above
