HELP What is true about the dilation? On a coordinate plane, the image rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 8), (9, 8), (8, 0). The pre-image has points (0, 0), (0, 2.5), (3, 2.5), (3, 0).

It is a reduction with a scale factor between 0 and 1.
It is a reduction with a scale factor greater than 1.
It is an enlargement with a scale factor between 0 and 1.
It is an enlargement with a scale factor greater than 1.

  (d) enlargement with scale factor greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is obviously larger than the pre-image, so the dilation is an enlargement. The scale factor associated with an enlargement is always greater than 1.

Additional comment

In this drawing, the scale factor in the vertical direction is 8/2.5 = 3.2. The scale factor in the horizontal direction is 9/3 = 3.0. The scale factors are different in the different directions.
