Dilation is a transformation that maps an object to an image by stretching or diminishing it but retaining the original shape. It is described by stating the center of dilation and the dilation scale factor. Dilation scale factor is given by dividing the coordinate of the image with the corresponding coordinate of the object. In this case, if we consider A and A' then; k(-5,-4) = (-3.75, -3) Thus, -5k = -3.75 or -4k = -3 k = 3/4 Hence the scale factor of dilation is 3/4
