Question

Figure A, the small quadrilateral, was dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to create Figure B, the large quadrilateral.

Which rule best represents the dilation that was applied to Figure A to create
Figure B?

Answer 1

Try this option:

if to divide the new length by the old one, the result is ≈1.5

answer: A

Answer 2

`(x,y) =(1.5x;1.5y)`

Explanation:

The right answer is the first one.

In the graph we can see that each horizontal coordinate increases with a ratio of 1.5. We find this by division:

`(4.5)/(3)=1.5\\(6)/(4) =1.5`

The only answer that has 1.5 of ratio is A.

Therefore, the right answer is A.
