The single dilation of the shape is a dilation by a scale factor of 1.5 with center R

How to determine the dilation rule?

From the graph, we have the center of dilation to be point R.

This is so because R = R'

Also, we have:

R = (-1, -4)

S = (2, 0)

S' = (3.5, 2)

Calculate the distance RS and RS' using

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]RS = \sqrt{(0 + 4)^2 + (2+ 1)^2} = 5[/tex]

[tex]RS' = \sqrt{(2 + 4)^2 + (3.5+ 1)^2} = 7.5[/tex]

Divide RS' by RS to determine the scale factor (k)

k = 7.5/5

k = 1.5

Hence, the single dilation of the shape is a dilation by a scale factor of 1.5 across point R
