Question

what does a dilation transformation do to a figure? a. turns it around a point. b. slides it in any direction. c. resizes it while maintaining its shape. d. flips it over a line. a figure is dilated by a scale factor of -1. what is the result of this transformation? a. the figure remains unchanged. b. the figure is flipped upside down and resized. c. the figure is flipped and moved. d. the figure is flipped across the origin and maintains its proportions.

Explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. When the scale - factor is - 1, it is equivalent to a rotation of 180 degrees about the origin which flips the figure across the origin and since the absolute value of the scale - factor is 1, the figure maintains its proportions.

Answer:

1. c. Resizes it while maintaining its shape.
2. d. The figure is flipped across the origin and maintains its proportions.
