A dilation is which of the following: 

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

CCSS.HSG.SRT.A.1

The corresponding point for a pre- image that has one vertice at ( 2, 3) and a scale factor of 2 would be at (4, 6).

• True in all cases. It doesn't matter where the center of dilation is located. You simply multiply the coordinates by the scale factor. 
• False. You can't use the scale factor to find the coordinates of the corresponding vertice.
• True, assuming that the center of dilation is at the origin.
• False, the corresponding vertice would have coordinates of (4, 5)

The center of dilation is important because

• it's the location from which the dilation occurs.

• All of the corresponding points of the image and pre image are on the lines radiating from the Center of Dilation.

• it's a fixed point on the plane about which all points are expanded or contracted.

• All of the above

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)
