Dilations

A dilation is which of the following: 

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

If the scale factor is less than one, the new figure will be

• an enlargement
• a reduction
• a scale factor
• bigger

If the scale factor is greater than one, the new figure will be

• a reduction
• an enlargement
• a scale
• not proportional

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

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

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)
• (12,12)
• (4,3)
• (0,12)

Which of the following is the algebraic representation for a dilation?

• (x, y) → (x, 3y)
• (x, y) → (3x, 3y)
• (x, y) → (x, y - 3)
• (x, y) → (.5x, .4y)

• A
• B
• C
• D

The point (8, 12) was dilated to become point (2, 3). What was the scale factor?

• ½
• ¼
• 4
• 2

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2

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)
