Question

a ________ resizes a figure by a scale factor, making it larger or smaller while maintaining its shape.

the number used to multiply the dimensions of a figure to enlarge or shrink it during a dilation is called the ________.

an ________ is the new figure created after a transformation is applied to the original figure.

the ________ is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a coordinate grid.

Explanation:

1. The transformation that resizes a figure while keeping its shape is defined as dilation.
2. The multiplier for dimensions in dilation is called the scale factor.
3. The new figure after any transformation is the image.
4. The intersection point of the x-axis and y-axis on a grid is the origin.
