Question

Identify the transformation shown by the 2 lines on the graph as a dilation or translation.

a) translation
b) dilation
​

Answer 1

b) dilation

Explanation:

Translation:

Figure has the same size, just in different positions.

Dilation:

FIgure has different size.

In this question:

We have function
`f(x) = x`.

And also, we have function
`g(x) = (x)/(4)`, that is, the figure f changes in size, is divided by 4. So it is a dilation.
