MEDAL AND FAN FOR RIGHT ANSWER Which pair of points represents a dilation that is a reduction? K(5, -3) and K'(10, -6) K(10, -3) and K'(5, -6) K(10, -6) and K'(5, -3) K(10, -6) and K'(-5, -3)

OpenStudy (diamondgames):

K(10, -6) and K'(5, -3) i think

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

Remember, dilation means it grows or shrinks. Reduction means it's gonna get smaller. So look at the coordinates, and the answer will be one where the numbers are smaller, by a common factor being divided.

OpenStudy (oliviagggg):

im pretty sure its c or d

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

Yep, it's one of those. You can see that the second set of coordinates are 1/2 of the first ones, so they're being divided by 2. Positive numbers will remain positive, and negative numbers will remain negative. :)

OpenStudy (oliviagggg):

is it c?

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

Right :)

OpenStudy (oliviagggg):

Thanks again :)

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

No problem!

OpenStudy (diamondgames):

Yay i was right

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

@Diamondgames yes you were :) just wanted her to know the steps

OpenStudy (diamondgames):

Ahh i get it

OpenStudy (slizzard):

B

OpenStudy (diamondgames):

your wrong @slizzard

OpenStudy (slizzard):

dilation which is a "reduction" means both the coordinates must reduce option B-> K(10, -3) and K'(5, -6) 10 to 5 -> reduced -3 to -6 -> reduced
