Dilations n' Such

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)
• (12,12)
• (4,3)
• (0,12)

Which of the following is the algebraic representation for a dilation?

• (x, y) → (x, 3y)
• (x, y) → (3x, 3y)
• (x, y) → (x, y - 3)
• (x, y) → (.5x, .4y)

A triangle has vertices A(0,0), B(8,0), C(3,-2). Find the coordinates of the triangle after a dilation with a scale factor of  4. The dilation is (X,Y) --- (4x,4y)

• A(3,3), B(4,4), C(-3,-4)
• A(-4,8), B(6.5,8), C(7,7)
• A(0,0), B(32,0), C(12,-8)

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)
• (12,12)
• (4,3)
• (0,12)

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 1/2

• (1.5,-4)
• (-1.5,1)
• (-1,-1.5)
• (-2,-2)

If the scale factor is less than one, the new figure will be

• an enlargement
• a reduction
• a scale factor
• bigger

A triangle has vertices with coordinates (2,0), (3, -1) and (-2,-5). If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, what are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

• (5,3), (6,2), (1,-2)
• (6,0), (9,-3), (-6,-15)
• (2/3,0), (1,-1/3), (-2/3,-5/3)
• (-1,-3), (0,-4), (-5,-8)

The point (8, 12) was dilated to become point (2, 3). What was the scale factor?

• ½
• ¼
• 4
• 2

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2

(x, y) -> (2x, 2y) 
What is the coefficient 2 mean?

• plot 2 to the right and 2 up
• scale factor is 2 creating a new figure half the size
• scale factor is 2 making a figure twice the 
  original
