    which sequence of transformations maps a rectangle from (1,2), (1,4), (3,4), and (3,2) to (-2,-4), (-2,-8), (-6,-8), and (-6,-4)?

    Which transformation does not preserve the size of a figure? a. Reflection b. Rotation c. Dilation d. Translation

  2. Response
    Turn 1 Answer
  3. Explanation

    Step1: Pick a reference point

    Take the point $(1,2)$ and its image $(-2,-4)$.

    Step2: Test dilation factor

    Check scaling: $1 \times k = -2$ and $2 \times k = -4$. Solve for $k$: $k = \frac{-2}{1} = -2$, $k = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$.

    Step3: Verify with another point

    Test $(1,4)$: $1 \times (-2) = -2$, $4 \times (-2) = -8$, which matches $(-2,-8)$.

    Step4: Eliminate other options

    Translation would add/subtract constants, not scale coordinates. Scale factor 2 would give positive values, not negative.

  4. Brief Explanations

    Reflections, rotations, and translations are rigid transformations—they only change the position or orientation of a figure, keeping its side lengths, angles, and overall size identical. Dilation involves scaling a figure by a factor (other than 1), which increases or decreases its linear dimensions, thus changing its size.

  5. Final answer

    c. dilation by scale factor of -2
