multiply the coords by the dilation factor

bibby · Answer

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

(.2,1) @bibby ?

bibby · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

bibby · Answer

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