Question Analysis  

The main focus is to determine the type of dilation based on the scale factor .  

Key Concept Explanation  

Enlargement: Occurs when the scale factor k > 1, making the dilated figure larger than the original.  

Reduction: Occurs when 0 < k < 1, making the dilated figure smaller.  

Isometry: Preserves distance (e.g., translations, rotations), which does not apply to dilation (unless k = 1).
