Answer:

Option B,D and E will create dilation.

Explanation:

Dilation is the enlarging or shrinking of an element using a common scale factor.

If the same factor is multiplied by the elements, the dilation is created.

Looking at the options:

Option A

O (x,y) -----> (2x,4y)

if we take 2 as common we get 2 (x,2y) not the original coordinates (x,y). So, no dilation.

Option B

O (x,y) -----> (-2x,-2y)

if we take -2 as common we get -2(x,y) which is same as original coordinates. It would create dilation.

Option C

O (x,y) -----> (92x,2y)

if we take 2 as common we get (46x,y) not the original coordinates (x,y). So, no dilation.

Option D

O (x,y) -----> (3x,3y)

if we take 3 as common we get 3(x,y) which is same as original coordinates. It would create dilation.

Option E

O (x,y) -----> (1.2x,1.2y)

if we take 1.2 as common we get 1.2(x,y) which is same as original coordinates. It would create dilation.

So, Option B,D and E will create dilation.
