Aim: How do we graph dilations?



Dilation's- A dilation is a type of image that causes an image to stretch or in proportion to its original size.

When a image is dilated it has a scale factor in which it either shrinks or enlarges.if the scale factor is >1 then the image is enlarged. If the scale factor is <1 then the image will shrink. Whatever the scale factor is then you multiply it by each of the points.


 This image is an example of a dilation. 
The second triangle increased proportionally 
from the original shape.




Dilate these points if the scale factor is 2:
(4,3), (-1,2), (0,5)
