Answer: If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .

If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation a transformation that changes the size of the figure in certain ways by using scale factor .

It stretches or shrinks the actual figure. It produces similar figures.

  • If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an <em>enlargement</em> .
  • If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an<em> reduction</em>.
  • If the scale factor is equals to 1 then the image is <em>congruent</em>.

If your scale factor has absolute value greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement. 
<span>If your scale factor has abs value less than 1, the dilation is a reduction. </span>
<span>If the scale factor is equal to 1, the image is congruent to the preimage. </span>

7 + 2y = 8x 3x - 2y = 0 Solve the system of equations by substitution. (70/3, 140/9) (7/5, 21/10) no solution coincident
Wittaler [7]
So we have the system of equations:
7+2y=8x equation (1)
3x-2y=0 equation (2)

To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for x in equation (2):
3x-2y=0
3x=2y
x= \frac{2}{3}y equation (3)

Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
7+2y=8x
7+2y=8( \frac{2}{3} y)
7+2y= \frac{16}{3} y
7= \frac{10}{3} y
y= \frac{7}{ \frac{10}{3} }
y= \frac{21}{10} equation (4)

Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
x= \frac{2}{3}y
x=( \frac{2}{3} )( \frac{21}{10} )
x= \frac{7}{5}

We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>
