Question

Which rule yields the dilation of the figure KLMN centered at the origin

Answer 1

B.
`(x,y)\to (0.5x,0.5y)`

Step-by-step explanation

From the diagram, MN=6 units.

and M'N'=3 units.

The quadrilateral KLMN was dilated to obtain K'L'M'N'

We can observe that,

`|M'N'| = 0.5|MN|`

This means that the scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.

The mapping for the dilation is :

`(x,y)\to (0.5x,0.5y)`

The correct answer is B.
