Dilations
Dilate the following graphs using the given center of dilation and scale factor.
1.) Scale Factor: 2 2.) Scale Factor: 1.5
Center of Dilation: (0,0) Center of Dilation: (0,0)

3.) Scale Factor: 4.) Scale Factor: 2

Center of Dilation: (0,0) Center of Dilation: (2, -1)
A: (0,3) B: (4,-2) C: (-2, -1)

5. scale factor: 4 6. What is the scale factor?

Center of dilation: the origin Center is origin
A: (4, 5) B: (-6, -3) C: (10, -7) A: (0, 5)  A’: (0, 25)
B: (-8, 3)  B’: (-40, 15)
Find A’ B’ C’ C: (-10, 6) C’: (-40, 30)
D: (1, 2)  D’: (5, 10)

7.) Scale Factor: 2 8.) Scale Factor: 0.5

Center of dilation: (1,2) Center of dilation: (-2,-2)
9.) What is the scale factor? 10.) Are the two figures similar or not?
Center of dilation: (0,0) *Must prove your answer by showing that the
figures represent a true dilation.*

For # 11 – 12, graph the dilated line AND write the equation of the new line.
