We are going from ABCDEFGH to A'B'C'D'E'F'G'H'. We are going from the large octagon to the small octagon. The scale factor of a dilation is the number you multiply the original lengths to get the lengths of the dilation.
Look at point (6, 0) which becomes (3, 0) in the dilation.
The distance from the origin to (6, 0) is 6 units.
The distance from the origin to (3, 0) is 3 units.
scale factor = dilated/original = 3/6 = 1/2
The scale factor of the dilation is 1/2.
Also look at segment AB whose length is 4. The length of segment A'B' is 2.
scale factor = dilated/original = 2/4 = 1/2

let's keep in mind that, in the II Quadrant, cosine is negative and sine, is positive.
cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse, however the hypotenuse is simply a radius unit, and thus is never negative, so in the -(2/3) the negative must be the numerator, -2.
