Lesson 2
Circular Grid
Dilating Points on a Circular Grid

Label the new point A′.

Show Solution
Lesson 3
Dilations with No Grid
A Single Dilation of a Triangle
Lin drew a triangle and a dilation of the triangle with scale factor 21:
What is the center of the dilation? Explain how you know.
Which triangle is the original and which triangle is the dilation? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
The center of dilation is A. Sample reasoning: The original and dilated points all lie on rays that start at A.
Triangle ACD is the original and triangle ABE is the dilation. Sample reasoning: Since the scale factor is less than 1, the dilated triangle is smaller than the original triangle.

Lesson 6
Similarity
Showing Similarity
Elena gives the following sequence of transformations to show that the 2 figures are similar by transforming ABCD into EFGD.
Dilate using center D and scale factor 2.
Reflect using the horizontal line through D.
Is Elena’s method correct? If not, explain how you could fix it.
Show Solution
Elena’s method is not correct. Sample response: After dilating using D as the center with a scale factor of 2, Elena can reflect over the vertical line through D rather than the horizontal line through D.
Lesson 7

How Do You Know?
Are these 2 figures similar? Explain how you know.

Section B Check
Section B Checkpoint
Problem 1
Explain why triangle RST is similar to triangle TYZ.

Sample response:
Lesson 11
Writing Equations for Lines
Matching Relationships to Graphs
Line a is shown on the coordinate plane.
Explain why the slope of line a is 62.
Label the horizontal and vertical sides of the slope triangle with expressions representing their length.
Use the slope triangle to write an equation for any point (x,y) on line a.
Is the point (95,37) on line a? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
Sample reasoning: The points (5,7) and (11,9) are on the line. A slope triangle drawn using these points as vertices will have a vertical length of 2 and a horizontal length of 6, giving a slope value of 62.
The vertical side has length y−7, and the horizontal side has length x−5.
x−5y−7=62 (or equivalent). Equations such as 5−x7−y=31 or x−2y−6=62 are also correct, being derived from different slope triangles than the one shown.
Yes, point (95,37) is on line a. Sample reasoning: Those x- and y-coordinates make the line’s equation true: 95−537−7=9030=62.
Lesson 12
Using Equations for Lines
Is the Point on the Line?
Is the point (20,13) on this line? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
Yes, point (20,13) is on the line. Sample reasoning: One possible equation for the line is xy−3=21. Since 2013−3=21, the point (20,13) is on this line.
Section C Check
Section C Checkpoint
Problem 1
Of the lines on the graph, line ℓ has a slope of 1 and line m has slope of 3 and line n has a slope of 21.

Show Solution
Problem 2
A line can be described by the equation x−3y−1=31. Is the point (33,12) on this line? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
No. Sample reasoning: Since 33−312−1=3011 and not 31, the point (33,12) does not make the equation true.

A.$\frac{y-6}{x-7}=\frac12$

Problem 4
Han’s teacher asked him to draw a polygon similar to polygon A. Here is his work. Did Han correctly draw a similar polygon? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
Yes, Han correctly drew a similar polygon. Sample reasoning: Polygon A can be translated 7 units to the right and then dilated with center of dilation at the upper-left vertex and a scale factor of 3 to get to Polygon C.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct. Acceptable for sequence of transformations to take Polygon C to Polygon A.
Acceptable errors: Use of language like “move” or “shift” instead of “translate.”
Sample: Yes. Dilate A by a factor of 3 using the bottom left corner as the center, and then translate it down and right until it matches the location of C.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows good conceptual understanding and mastery, with either minor errors or correct work with insufficient explanation or justification.
Sample errors: Incorrect scale factor; not describing which polygon is being transformed; incorrectly counting the distance for a polygon to be translated.
Tier 3 response:
Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
Sample errors: Polygons are not identified as similar; the sequence of rigid motions and dilations does not take one polygon to the other (and is not close).
Problem 5
Triangles ABC and DEF are similar.
Find the length of segment BC.
Find the length of segment DF.
Show Solution

314 (or equivalent)
Problem 6
Write an equation for the line.
Is the point (40,74) on this line? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
x−2y−2=2 or 6−x10−y=2 (or equivalent)
No. Sample reasoning: 40−274−2=3872 which is not equal to 2, so the point (40, 74) is not on this line.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct.
Acceptable equations: In addition to the equations listed above, any equation that relates the quotients of the horizontal and vertical lengths of a slope triangle for this line is valid. Note that equations may come in different formats and may use the coordinates of any point on the line, not just the ones shown.
Sample reasoning: The point (40,74) does not make the equation for the line true, so this point can't be on the line.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows general conceptual understanding and mastery, with some errors.
Sample errors: Finding that the slope is 21 or the equation for the line is y−2x−2=2 or y−2x−2=21; minor computational errors when determining if the point is on the line.
Tier 3 response:
Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
Sample errors: Equation does not involve slope or similar triangles; response indicates point is on the line or uses incorrect reasoning.
Problem 7
Here is a polygon:
Draw the dilation of ABCD using center B and scale factor 2. Label the dilation as Figure F.
Draw the dilation of ABCD with center B and scale factor 31. Label the dilation as Figure G.
Show that Figure F and Figure G are similar.
Show Solution
See image
See image
Sample response: If Figure G is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with center at point B, the result is ABCD. If ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with center at point B, the result is Figure F.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct, with complete explanation or justification.
Sample: Figure F and Figure G are both dilations of polygon ABCD.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows good conceptual understanding and mastery, with either minor errors or correct work with insufficient explanation or justification.
Sample errors: Scale is correct in the dilations, but the incorrect center is used; work involves a minor mistake dilating one point; explanation of similarity is something like “Figure F and Figure G are dilations of each other” without a justification, such as referencing ABCD.
Tier 3 response:
Work shows a developing but incomplete conceptual understanding, with significant errors.
Sample errors: Work shows general understanding of dilations but a few points are placed incorrectly; dilations are performed using scale factors of 21 or 3; correctly drawn dilations but very weak or missing explanation of similarity.
Tier 4 response:
Work includes major errors or omissions that demonstrate a lack of conceptual understanding and mastery.
Sample errors: Drawings do not resemble dilations.
