Question

Figure MNOP is reflected about the x-axis to obtain figure M′N′O′P′:

What is the scale factor of dilation? (1 point)

Group of answer choices

1 over 2

1 over 3

1 over 4

1 over 5

Answer 1

1 over 4

Explanation:

Step 1. The shape dilates smaller than itself so will always be less than 1

Step 2. We count P to 0 in the larger shape and see = 4 unit

and compare to P' to 0' in the smaller shape and see = 1 unit

Answer. The dilation is 1/4

Note, the letters are not MNOP so ensure you realise this.

Answer 2

1/4

Explanation:

The sides go from 4 units to 1 unit so the dilation must be 1/4
