Exploring Dilations on the Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial explains how to perform dilations on the coordinate plane. It covers the process of multiplying original coordinates by a scale factor to obtain new coordinates and how to determine if a figure is smaller, larger, or congruent after dilation. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find the scale factor by dividing new measurements by original ones and provides examples of dilating various shapes, including triangles and circles. The video emphasizes the importance of using corresponding parts and provides rules for writing dilation equations.
