we know that
To find the length of the image after a dilation, multiply the length of the pre-image by the scale factor
Part a) we have
The scale factor is 5
The length of the pre-image is 3 cm
therefore
The length of the image AB after dilation is
Part b) we have
The scale factor is 3.7
The length of the pre-image is 3 cm
therefore
The length of the image AB after dilation is
Part c) we have
The scale factor is 1/5
The length of the pre-image is 3 cm
therefore
The length of the image AB after dilation is
Part d) we have
The scale factor is s
The length of the pre-image is 3 cm
therefore
The length of the image AB after dilation is
The dashed line is because the sign is greater than to be a solid line it has to be equal to or greater than and to the shading means any point on there works for the equation easiest way to test where you should shade is by plugging into the equation the point (0,0)
