WILL MEDAL AND FAN!!!

Which scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image?

Choose TWO Answers.

A. -1.8
B. -0.8
C. 1.8
D. 0.8

Answer 1

I can tell you that it is C and most likely B. When you are dilating by a positive whole number above 1, the shape would get smaller. Therefore, D is one answer. Now usually when there is a negative, it would kind of flip the reasoning for positives. So any negative above one should get bigger, and less than one should get smaller. B should also be the second answer. Hopefully this helps. (Again, I am not sure about the second choice).

Answer 2

So D and B?

Answer 3

I'm sorry, I meant to say C and B, not D. I also looked up about the negative dilation and I was correct.
