Properties of Dilations

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)

Tell whether the transformation is a dilation. Explain.

• No, scale factor isn't the same.
• Yes, scale factor is the same.

A triangle has vertices with coordinates (2,0), (3, -1) and (-2,-5). If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, what are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

• (5,3), (6,2), (1,-2)
• (6,0), (9,-3), (-6,-15)
• (2/3,0), (1,-1/3), (-2/3,-5/3)
• (-1,-3), (0,-4), (-5,-8)

• green triangle 
• red triangle 
• black triangle
• none of these

A scale factor of less than one means

• that the image will be larger than the pre-image.
• That the image will be the same as the pre-image.
• That you need to subtract that amount off  of each side.
• That the image will be a reduction of the pre-image.
