In this lesson, we'll explore the concepts of dilations and similarity in the coordinate plane. You will learn how dilations change the size of a figure without altering its shape. We'll cover the scale factor, which indicates how much a figure is enlarged or reduced. Through examples, you'll see how to apply the scale factor to find the coordinates of the dilated image of a point. Be sure to take notes and review the material for a complete understanding. A lesson quiz awaits to test your knowledge!

Quick Vocab **Just keep these in mind during the lesson**
What is a Dilation? Changing the size, but not the shape of an image. This is the only transformation that does not an isometry.
Scale factor A scale factor describes how much the figure is enlarged or reduced. For a dilation with scale factor k, you can find the image of a point by multiplying each coordinate by k: (a, b) → (ka, kb).
