Question

Which rule yields the dilation of the figure STUV centered at the origin? A) (x, y) → (5x, 5y) B) (x, y) → (0.2x, 0.2y) C) (x, y) → (x + 5, y + 5) D) (x, y) → (x + 0.2, y + 0.2)

Answer 1

Answer:

The rules that yield the dilation of the figure STUV centered at the origin are both    

         ⇒   A) (x, y) → (5x, 5y)       ⇒   B) (x, y) → (0.2x, 0.2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation of a figure means two things.

• It makes the original figure smaller.
• It stretches the original figure.

It has the following properties.

• It has a center of dilation. This center is fixed.
• It has a scale factor.
• The image gets enlarged when this factor is more than 1.
• The image gets shrunk when the value of this factor is below 1.
