AB has endpoints at (-1, -1) and (-2, -4). Its transformation A'B' has endpoints at (-2, -2) and (-4, -8). What type of transfor

mation occurred? Are lengths of segments affected by this type of transformation? Justify.
A) rotation; no; The lengths of the two segments are the same.
B) reflection; yes; The length of segment A'B' is longer than the original segment AB.
C) dilation by a scale factor of 2; yes; The length of segment A'B' is longer than the original segment AB.
D) dilation by a scale factor of
1
2
; The length of segment A'B' is shorter than the original segment AB.
