Question Analysis

This question focuses on dilation. The main task is to determine whether the transformation from points J, K, L to J', K', L' represents a dilation by checking if there is a consistent scale factor.

 

Key Concept Explanation

For a dilation centered at the origin, if a point is transformed to , then and , where is the scale factor. If the ratio is the same for multiple points, it is a dilation.
