Division is very simple don't worry. division is the opposite of multiplication.
if i wanted to share 12 cookies with 6 people, i would want to share it evenly.
12 divided 6 = 2 cookies per person

now back to division being the opposite of multiplying. note how 12 divided by 6 = 2, right? well, read that backwards.
2 x 6 = 12. it isn't a coincidence!
now, let's try something different.
i have 8 cookies. i want to split them evenly with a friend. how many do we each get?
8 divided by 2

What is the image of (8,6)(8,6) after a dilation by a scale factor of \frac{1}{2}

exis [7]

The image of the point (8, 6) dilated by a scale factor 1/2 is (4, 3)

The given point is (8, 6)

The scale factor of dilation = 1/2

To dilate a given point (x, y) by a scale factor m, multiply each of the coordinates (x, y) by m

The image = (mx, my)

For the point (8, 6) dilated by 1/2, the image will be calculated as shown below:

$(\frac{1}{2}\times 8, \frac{1}{2} \times 6)\\= (4, 3)$
