Given:

Point A'(6,3) is a dilation of point A(18,9).

To find:

The scale factor.

Solution:

We know that, if a point P is dilated by factor k and origin is the center of dilation, then

P(x,y)\to P'(kx,ky)

Let the scale factor for the given problem be k. So,

A(18,9)\to A'(18k,9k)

On comparing A'(18k,9k) and A'(6,3), we get

18k=6\text{ and }9k=3

k=\dfrac{6}{18}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{3}{9}

k=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the scale factor is \dfrac{1}{3}.
