Q:
Which types of dilation are the given scale factors?Select Expansion or Contraction to correctly describe the type of dilation for each given scale factor.
Accepted Solution
A:
Any negative number is going to be a contraction.
expansion= bigger dilation
contraction= smaller dilation
Let's use the number 2, for example, to help us solve.
2*-4= -8
-8 is less than -4 since the bigger a negative number something is, the smaller in value it has.
It is a contraction.
2*2.5= 5
5 is bigger than 2.
It is an expansion.
2*2/3= 1 1/3
2 is bigger than 1 1/3.
This is a contraction.
2*-.75= -1.5
2 is bigger than -1.5.
This is a contraction.
I hope this helps!
