Question

Which scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image? select each correct answer. −2 −12 ​12​ ​​2.

Answer 1

-2 and -12

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation of a geometric image that is known to change its size not it shape.

The size of the figure basically depends on the scale factor (k).

When k >1 then there would be expansion.

When k <1 then there would be contraction.

When k=1 then no change in size

I.e for conraction the scale factor (k) must be negative

from the given options, the scale factor produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image would be -2 and -12

Hence the correct answers are:-2 and -12
