The first thing we are going to do in this case is to choose a vertex of BCDE. We have then: B = (1, 1) We choose now the same vertices of B'C'D'E ' B '= (2, 2) We then have the following equation: B '= k * B Substituting: (2, 2) = k * (1, 1) Where do we get the equation: 1 * k = 2 Where we conclude: k = 2 Answer: the scale factor used to create the dilation from Pre-image BCDE to image B'C'D'E 'is: A) 2
