Question

Under a dilation, a figure is enlarged and its orientation is preserved. Choose the statement that best describes the dilation.

A.

The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is farther from the center of dilation.
B.

The image is along the opposite ray from the preimage but is farther from the center of dilation.
C.

The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.
D.

The image is along the opposite ray from the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.

Oh god. Well, I haven't really done this since geometry and even then we didn't really do it. But if something is dilated, it means it is stretched and enlarged.
I'm pretty sure that C and D is wrong.
Opposite ray would probably mean that it is inverted so points on the right side of the coordinate plane are on the left side, and left side is on the right.
So if I had to guess, I would say A.

you were right <3
