What ia a transformation that shrinks or stretches a figure?

A transformation that shrinks or stretches a figure is known as a dilation. In a dilation, each point of the figure is moved away from or toward a fixed point called the center of dilation, by a scale factor. If the scale factor is greater than one, the figure is stretched; if it is between zero and one, the figure is shrunk. This transformation preserves the shape of the figure but alters its size.
