Question

The pink trapezoid has been dilated to the blue trapezoid. What was the center of the dilation?

A) (0, 0)
B) (-1, -1)
C) (-2, -2)
D) (-3, -3)

Answer 1

A) (0, 0)

Explanation:

To find the center of dilation, draw lines from each pre-image point to the image point. A picture of this is attached.

Once we get these lines drawn, the center of dilation will be the intersection of these lines. The lines intersect at (0, 0), so this is the center of dilation.
