Question

explore the scale factors of dilations.

1. move the slider to choose a scale factor greater than 1. where is point p? to the right of p
2. move the slider to choose a scale factor between 0 and 1. where is point p?

to the right of p
between q and p
to the left of q
check
dilation scale factor: 1.2

Explanation:

A dilation with a scale factor between 0 and 1 reduces the distance from the center of dilation (point Q) to the original point (point P). This means the dilated point P' will lie between the center Q and the original point P.

Answer:

between Q and P
