Dilation centered at the origin whose scale factor is k=1/2

1) We need to locate two points from each figure, the pre-image and the image.

2) So, let's locate them:

K(0,11) K' (0, 5.5)

L (-9,3) L' (-4.5, 1.5)

3) As we can see the pre-image is larger than the image. And so, the scale factor of this Dilation has to be lesser than 1.

4) Therefore, the answer is:

Dilation centered at the origin whose scale factor is k=1/2
