The center of dilation is (1, -1)

The scale factor is 1/3

How to find the center of dilation

The scale factor is solved using some sides as reference. Let us use CA to C'A

preimage dimension * scale facto, k = image dimension

CA * k = C'A'

9 * k = 3

k = 3/9 = 1/3

Solving for center of dilation. (x₀, y₀)

x₀ = (k(x₁) - x₂) / (k - 1) and y₀ = (k(y₁) - y₂) / (k - 1)

Using points C (-2, 5) and C' (0, 1)

x₀ = (1/3(-2) - 0) / (1/3 - 1)

x₀ = -2/3 / -2/3

x₀ = 1

y₀ = (1/3(5) - 1) / (1/3 - 1)

y₀ = (5/3 - 1) / (-2/3)

y₀ = (2/3) / (-2/3)

y₀ = -1

the center of dilation is (1, -1)
