  1. Find the unknown scale factor after a sequence of dilations, a reflection and a translation.
  2. Find the scale factor from a school banner design to a wall mural.
  3. Write a single rule and scale factor for each sequence of moves.
    Reflect in the line y = x, then dilate by \dfrac12.Dilate by 4, then translate by \langle -1, 3 \rangle.Translate by \langle 2, -1 \rangle, then dilate by 3.Dilate by 2, rotate 90° clockwise, then dilate by \dfrac32.
  4. Describe the moves that carry one pizza slice onto another and give the scale factor.
  5. Find the image of a square under a slant tool and compare area.
  6. Name the dilation, rotation and translation behind a single rule.
