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
