Question

Which dilation is shown by the graph?

Answer 1

D. D₂ (∆XYZ)

Explanation:

Dₙ = (x,y) → ((n)x, (n)y)

_________________

X = (-1, 2).

Y = (2, -1).

Z = (-2, -1).

_________

Dₙ ∆XYZ:

X(-1, 2) → X'(-2, 4)

Y(2, -1) → Y'(4, -2)

Z(-2, -1) → Z'(-4, -2)

______________

-2 / -1 = 2, 4 / 2 = 2.

4 / 2 = 2, -2 / -1 = 2.

-4 / -2 = 2, -2 / -1 = 2.

_______________

D₂ = (x,y) → ((2)x, (2)y).

X(-1, 2) → ((2)(-1), (2)(2)) = X'(-2, 4)

Y(2, -1) → ((2)(2), (2)(-1)) = Y'(4, -2)

Z(-2, -1) → ((2)(-2), (2)(-1)) = Z'(-4, -2)
