Answer:

Multiply the original points by the fraction or ratio of the dilution needed

Explanation:

I'm less confident in this answer, but Scale factor is the ration between two geometric figures, like 1:2 is for every one unit on one figure is two on the other, so to dilute a figure, you multiply the points by 1/2 to make a smaller figure, or by 2 to get a bigger one. Plot the given answers and you have diluted :) Hope this helps!
