\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following describe enlargements?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

Look for transformations that change size without rotating or reflecting.

Enlargement is a transformation that scales a shape by a scale factor relative to a center. Positive scale factors increase or decrease size while preserving shape and angles. The center remains fixed, and all points move away or towards it proportionally. Enlargements do not rotate or reflect a shape. Understanding this helps with similarity, coordinate transformations, and mapping objects in the plane. Practice applying scale factors from different centers and observing the change in size and position.
