A dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor "k" is applied to a polygon. What dilation can you apply to the image to return it to the original preimage?

So when we scale up this image, all points' distances from the center are multiplied by [tex]k[/tex]. We want to then put them back to where they were before.

Thinking about inverse operations, we could just divide by [tex]k[tex], right? But the problem with having a scale factor is we can only multiply.

Think about fractions. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, right?

So if we think of [tex]k[/tex] as [tex]\frac{k}1[/tex], then the opposite reciprocal would be [tex]\boxed{\frac{1}k}[/tex]
