- The first diagram shows a dilation with center at (0,0) and scale factor 2. Each point of the original figure is moved to a new position twice as far from the origin along the same ray.
- The second diagram shows a dilation with center at (-10,-3) and scale factor 1.5. Each point of the original figure is moved to a new position 1.5 times as far from (-10,-3) along the same ray.
- The third diagram shows a dilation with center at (0,0) and scale factor 0.5. Each point of the original figure is moved to a new position half as far from the origin along the same ray.
- The fourth diagram shows a dilation with center at (3,2) and scale factor 0.5. Each point of the original figure is moved to a new position half as far from (3,2) along the same ray.
