Question

Compare a dilation to the other transformations: translation, reflection, rotation.

Answer 1

Answer:

A translation simply moves the graph, or pre-image, without changing the size or spinning the image. ... A reflection flips the pre-image across some line. A rotation spins the pre-image around a point. A dilation either expands or shrinks the pre-image.

Answer 2

Comparing a dilation to other transformations: translation, reflection, rotation is:

• Transformation means the movement of objects in the coordinate plane.
• Translation means sliding an object in any direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation. Then, rotation is the rotating of an object on a fixed point and reflection means flipping of an object.
• The major comparison is that all the movement in the three transformations is done without changing the size, shape and orientation.
