The scale factor of the dilation is: C. 4.
What is Dilation?
- Dilation is a transformation that increases the size or reduces the size of a figure by a scale factor.
- Scale factor = dimension of image (new image)/dimension of preimage (original image).
Thus:
Scale factor = F'G/FG
Apply the distance formula, d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²] to find FG, and F'G'.
F(-4, 5) = (x1, y1)
G(-2, 5) = (x2, y2)
FG = √[(-2 -(-4))² + (5 - 5)²]
FG = 2 units
F'(-5, 2) = (x1, y1)
G'(3, 2) = (x2, y2)
F'G' = √[(3 -(-5))² + (2 - 2)²]
F'G' = 8 units
Scale factor = 8 units/2 units = 4
Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is: C. 4.
