To dilate any point, with the origin as the center of dilation, you simply multiply each coordinate by some scale factor k (x,y) ------> (x*k, y*k)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(-5,7) turns into (-18.5, 25.9) So this means -5*k = -18.5 and 7*k = 25.9 what must the value of k be?

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

3.7?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, so that is the scale factor

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

thanks
