The video tutorial explains the concept of dilation on a coordinate plane, assuming the center is at the origin (0,0). It demonstrates how to dilate points by multiplying their coordinates by a given K factor. The tutorial uses points A, B, and C as examples, showing how to calculate their new positions after dilation. It also discusses how the resulting figures are similar in shape but differ in size, depending on the K factor used.
