Which figure could be the result of dilating this rectangle with a scale factor between 0 and 1? On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 3), (6, 3), (6, 0). On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1).
On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 4), (8, 4), (8, 0).
On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 1), (4, 1), (4, 0).
On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 2), (8, 2), (8, 0).

  (a)  On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (0, 0), (0, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point coordinate of the dilated figure will be smaller by the same factor.

Looking at the original (0, 3) coordinate, we find that possible answer choices include ...

  A (0, 1) has a scale factor of 1/3

  B (0, 4) has a scale factor greater than 1

  C (0, 1) has a scale factor of 1/3

  D (0, 2) has a scale factor of 2/3

Looking at the rest of the points in the answer selections, we find that the scale factors in choices C and D are not consistent from one point to another (or even within the same point). Those choices must be rejected.

In selection A, the image points are listed out of order, tending to confuse the issue. However, A is the correct choice.
