Dilations Practice

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)

A dilation is which of the following: 

• only an enlargement
• only a reduction
• An enlargement or a reduction

• Turns around the graph

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.

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

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

Polygon ABCDE will be dilated by a scale factor of 2.  Which statement is NOT true of the dilation?

• The corresponding angles of the two polygons will be equal.
• The dilation will be an enlargement.
• The original and the image will be congruent.
• Polygon A'B'C'D'E' will be proportional to polygon ABCDE. 

State the coordinate of the image of the given point B (-10,-6) under a dilation with center at the origin with the given scale factor k = 1/2.

• (5,3)
• (20,12)
• (-20,-12)
• (-5,-3)

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)

What scale factor was used to produce the image?

• 2
• -2
• ¹/₂
• 1

Which is true about the scale factor when a figure is enlarged?

• The scale factor is zero.

• The scale factor is 1.

• The scale factor is larger than 1.

• The scale factor is smaller than 1.

What is the scale factor?

• k = 2

• k = 1/2

• k = 4

• k = 1/4
