How do you write the algebraic notation when the scale factor is 1/2?

• (x, y) −> (2x, 2y)

• (x, y) −> (1/2x, 1/2y)

• (x, y) −> (-2x, -2y)

• (x, y) −> (2x, 1/2y)

Are the two polygons similar? If not, explain why. (They are not drawn to scale, but you can assume all angles are 90°.)

• Yes

• No; Not enough information to tell

• No; 5 ⁄ 25 ≠ 6 ⁄ 10

• No; 5 ⁄ 25 ≠ 8 ⁄ 41
