Can a negative sign be used to describe a dilation?

We must use absolute value because lengths should always be positive ( you cannot have a negative lengths or distance)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape but a different size. A dilation that creates a larger image or shape is called enlargement a dilation that creates a smaller shape or image is called a reduction. Hope that helps x :)

i’m sorry but i don’t know sorry

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
