Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which algebraic representation shows the dilation of trapezoid to , we need to examine the scale factor of the transformation.
-
Identify the transformation type: Dilation involves scaling the coordinates of each point by a certain factor.
-
Measure or observe the scaling factor: From the diagram, it appears that trapezoid is larger than trapezoid . We need to verify the scale factor by comparing the coordinates or observing proportional changes.
-
Analyze options based on scaling factors:
- Option (x, y) → (2x, 2y) suggests a scale factor of 2 (each coordinate is doubled).
- Option (x, y) → (3x, 2y) is an inconsistent scaling and does not represent a typical dilation.
- Option (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y) suggests a reduction by half, or a scale factor of 0.5.
- Option (2x, 2y) → (x, y) suggests a reduction by half in reverse.
Given the layout and alignment of the points in relative to , the most likely correct answer is (x, y) → (2x, 2y), representing a dilation with a scale factor of 2.
