Question

How do you dilate a figure on a coordinate plane if you want to make the shape larger? How would your steps change if you want to make the image smaller?

Answer 1

If u want to make the shape larger, u will have to multiply it by the scale factor that is greater then 1.

if u want to make the shape smaller, then u will multiply by the scale factor that is between 0 and 1

if the scale factor is 1, then the shapes are congruent
