Answer:

The dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 changes the coordinates of a shape since the scale factor is 1/2. For example, for ''10'' we are going to change it to ''5''.

Answer:

It changes the coordinates of a shape since the scale factor is 1/2

Explanation:

This would mean that you are to shrink the size into the existing image/shape to create the new shape. if the number is less than one, you are to shrink the size; if the number is more than one, you are to enlarge the size. If the number is indeed one, the size stays the same.
