Question

Which process will create a figure that is NOT congruent to the figure shown? Every point is moved 3 units to the right. Every point is moved 3 units right and 3 units up. Every point is moved so that it is 23 as far from the y-axis. Every point is moved to the opposite side of the x-axis but still the same distance from the x-axis.

Answer 1

Every point is moved so that it is 2/3 as far from the y-axis

Explanation:

Translation and reflection are "rigid" motions. They do not change the size or shape of the figure, so the resulting figure will be congruent with the original.

Dilation by a factor of 2/3 changes the size, so will not result in a congruent figure.

_____

Here the dilation is in the x-direction only. It is not a transformation we usually are interested in.
