@bibby

Answer 5

multiply the coords by the dilation factor

Answer 6

for example \((x,y)\longrightarrow(ax,ay)\)
\(((1, 5)\longrightarrow (1*\frac{1}{5},5*\frac{1}{5})\)

Answer 7

(.2,1) @bibby ?

Answer 8

that's the new coord for A, yeah
you have to do that for every other point

Answer 9

do you mind setting up the rest of it? @bibby

Answer 10

I do mind. I just showed you. multiply each coord by the scale factor
