AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Create a simple dilation diagram showing a geometric pre-image, possibly a circle or a figure with special points, together with a scale factor and a center point. The pre-image should be enlarged or reduced about the center according to the scale factor to produce its image. Clearly show the pre-image, the image, the center, and the dilation relationship between them, suitable for students beginning to learn about transformations.
