Question
What is the definition of dilation?
Responses
1) the circular motion of a figure around a fixed center point
2) the transformation of a shape across an axis
3) a change in the size, position, or orientation of a geometric shape
4) a transformation technique that is used to make figures either larger or smaller in size, without changing or distorting the shape

Explanation: dilation scales distances from a center by a scale factor (enlarges or reduces) while preserving shape and angle measures. Options 1 and 2 describe rotation and reflection, and 3 is a too-general definition of a transformation.
