Lago Dilations

Figure S is dilated to create Figure T.  Which could be the scale factor of the dilation?

• (x, y)→(2x, 2y)

• (x, y)→(1/2 x, 1/2 y)

• (x, y)→(3x, 3y)

• (x, y)→(4x, 6y)

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2/3.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 3/2.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 3.

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

• an enlargement

• a rotation

• a translation

• a reduction

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

• an enlargement

• a translation

• a rotation

• a reduction
