Answer:

The scale factor of the dilation is;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Scale factor is image length divided by pre-image length;

$\text{ Scale factor=}\frac{\text{ image length}}{\text{Pre image length}}$

From the diagram;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Preimage length = 2 in} \\ \text{image length = 1 in} \end{gathered}$

Applying the above formula;

$\text{Scale factor =}\frac{1\text{ in}}{\text{2 in}}=(1)/(2)$

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is;
