1)To find a Scale factor of Dilation, about the origin

We have

Pre-mage Image

(x, y) k(x,y)

For example

Pre-image Image

(2,4) 2(2,4) = (4,8)

2)When it's not about the origin then we have to count from the Projection Point

Having said this, ex

Which is not a step

a)

We can divide the x value of the image over the pre-image, not the way around.

In the example, I've given if we divide the pre-image over the image value we would have found a scale factor of 1/2. In the example, The scale factor was the inverse: 2
