What is Dilation?

• Dilation means to enlarge or reduce
• Dilation means to reflect on something
• Dilation means to like something
• Dilation means to make something different by making it smaller

A scale factor of less than one means

• that the prime image will be larger than the pre-image.
• That the prime image will be the same as the preimage.
• That you need to subtract that amount off  of each side.
• That the prime image will be a reduction of the preimage.
