Fluency Practice

Apply the properties of dilations directly. Show your reasoning.

A dilation has center $C$ and scale factor $k = 0.5$ . Point $P$ is 8 units from $C$ . After the dilation, how far is $P'$ from $C$ ?

16 units — the image is farther from the center.

4 units — the image is half as far from the center.

8 units — the center and image stay the same distance apart.

0.5 units — the scale factor is subtracted from the distance.
