What does this mean?

Answer 1

ok so you want to know that what is dilation of a graph ?

Answer 2

A transformation in which all distances on the coordinate plane are lengthened by multiplying either all x-coordinates (horizontal dilation) or all y-coordinates (vertical dilation) by a common factor greater than 1.

Answer 3

Thankyou so much!
On a curve, dilation from the x axis means multiplying all x coordinates by a common factor, and from the y axis means multiplying all y coordinates?

Answer 4

according to me yes

must prefer you one thing:
