The point (8, 12) was dilated to become point (2, 3). What was the scale factor?
a)
½
b)
¼
c)
4

2
3.
A dilation is which of the following: 
a)
only an enlargement
b)
only a reduction
c)
Either an enlargement or a reduction
d)
Neither an enlargement or a reduction
4.
Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!
a)
It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2.

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

They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.
b)
They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.
c)
They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.
d)
They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.
