Understanding Transformations in Geometry

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

• (1.5,-4)

• (-1.5,1)

• (-1,-1.5)

• (-2,-2)

Name the transformation.

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

Reflections over the x-axis change the ____-__________. 

• y-coordinate

• x-coordinate

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2

• 3

• 1/3

• 1/2

If the scale factor is greater than 1, the dilation is...

• an enlargement

• a rotation

• a translation

• a reduction
