This video tutorial introduces students to the concepts of dilations, similarity, and slope. It explains how dilations are determined by a center point and a scale factor, and how these transformations affect figures. The video also covers the concept of similarity, showing how figures can be transformed through translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations. Special attention is given to triangles, where similarity can be determined by angle measures. Finally, the video explains how similar triangles can be used to define the slope of a line, providing a foundation for writing equations of lines.

What is the term used to describe the point from which a dilation is measured?

• Scale factor

• Center of dilation

• Line of reflection

• Angle of rotation

If a scale factor is less than 1, what happens to the size of the dilated figure?

• It becomes smaller

• It becomes larger

• It remains the same

• It disappears

What is the result of multiplying the distance from the center of dilation to a point by the scale factor?

• The reflection point

• The angle of rotation

• The new location of the corresponding point

• The original distance

What does a scale factor greater than 1 indicate about the dilated figure?

• It is smaller than the original

• It is the same size as the original

• It is larger than the original

• It is a reflection of the original

Which transformation is NOT involved in determining similarity between two figures?

• Rotation

• Scaling

• Reflection

• Translation

Which of the following is NOT a rigid transformation?

• Translation

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Dilation

How can you determine if two triangles are similar?

• By verifying they have the same perimeter

• By comparing their side lengths

• By checking if they have two corresponding angles with equal measure

• By ensuring they have the same area

What is the longest side of a slope triangle called?

• Hypotenuse

• Height

• Diagonal

• Base

What is the term for the number that describes the steepness of a line?

• Slope

• Incline

• Angle

• Gradient

What is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal sides of a slope triangle?

• They are always equal

• Their quotient is the slope of the line

• They determine the area of the triangle

• They are perpendicular
