Answer: If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .

If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation a transformation that changes the size of the figure in certain ways by using scale factor .

It stretches or shrinks the actual figure. It produces similar figures.

If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .
If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an reduction.
If the scale factor is equals to 1 then the image is congruent.

If your scale factor has absolute value greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
If your scale factor has abs value less than 1, the dilation is a reduction. 
If the scale factor is equal to 1, the image is congruent to the preimage.
