When you dilate a figure the size & location changes according to the scale factor.
The shape of the figure never changes no matter what. When we zoom into A photo the
photo may get bigger. Zooming into a photo relates to dilation by making the
photo bigger or smaller which the scale factor also do. When you have a scale factor of
1.5 the bigger is gonna get bigger, Now on the other hand when you have something less than 1
like 0.5 for example, the figure will get smaller. The differences between translations and dilations is that dilations could change in size and locations NOT in SHAPE !!! Translations is a sliding, it slides left,right,up or down. When you multiple by 1/3 it is the same as dividing by 3.
For example, lets take a look at 9, if you take 1/3 its gonna be 3 & if you divide it by 3 its gonna be 3 also.
