Question

3. Consider this dilation. (a) Is the image of the dilation a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure? Explain. (b) What is the scale factor? Explain.

Answer 1

the points are M (-3,3) (-2,2) S (6,3) (4,2) V (2,-2) (3,-3)

Answer 2

If the image is the one shown, then these are the answers:

The image is a reduction, the M’, S’, V’ triangle is smaller than the original, M, S, V triangle.

The scale factor is 2/3, as the points are M (-3,3), M’(-2,2), S (6,3), S’(4,2), V (2,-2), and V’(3,-3).
