The transformation includes a rotation and a dilation with a scale factor of 2.


The transformation includes a rotation and a dilation with a scale factor of 0.5.


The transformation includes a reflection and a dilation with a scale factor of 2.


The transformation includes a reflection and a dilation with a scale factor of 0.5.

Answer 2

The shape is rotated..so it can't be C or D.

Answer 3

You should obviously know the answer now..if you scale a number and you scale it by a whole number(ex: 2, 5, 8) it gets bigger, but if you scale it by a decimal(ex: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) it gets smaller.

So which option do you think it is? @beacon239

Answer 4

@beacon239 Are you there?

Answer 5

I already eliminated C and D.. @beacon239

Answer 6

I believe it's B..because EFGH has been scaled and rotated by 0.5.
