When you have two shapes to compare on a coordinate plane, you can determine the scale factor, knowing that the transformation w
as a dilation. Generate instructions you would give another student to determine the scale factor. If you know the center of dilation is the origin, you can simply divide any non-zero coordinate of the transformed figure by the corresponding coordinate of the original figure to get the scale factor. Sample Response: Locate two corresponding ordered pairs of the two shapes. Calculate how much the pre-image values were multiplied by to obtain the image values. This is your scale factor. You can calculate this by dividing the coordinates of the mage by the corresponding coordinates of the pre-image. Which did you include in your response? Check all that apply. Use corresponding ordered pairs. Divide the coordinates of the image by the pre-image. Determine that the pre-image times the scale factor produces the image.
