True OR False: This algebraic representation  (x, y)→(3x, 3y) for this dilation shows a scale factor (k) of 3.

a)

True

b)

False

9.

A heptagon (seven-sided polygon) was dilated by a scale factor of ⅗ using the origin as the center of dilation. Which algebraic representation & description matches the movement for the dilation?

c)

(x,y)→(⅗ x, ⅗y) and the dilation that occurred is an enlargement

d)

(x,y)→(⅗ y, x) and the dilation that occurred is an enlargement

10.

True (YES) OR False (NO):
