Based on the endpoints of the original shape and the dilated shape, the scale factor of the dilation is 1/2.
How is the scale factor found?
First find AB's value as:
= √ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
= √(8 - 0)² + (8 - (-7))²
= √289
= 17
Then find the value of A'B':
= √(2 - 6)² + (1.5 - (-6))²
= √ 72.25
= 8.5
The scale factor is:
= Value of A'B' / Value of AB
= 8.5 / 17
= 1/2
