When a shape is enlarged the multiplying factor is greater than 1.

Example : A factor of 7 means that a length of 1cm on the original shape would be represented by a length of 7cm on the enlarged shape.

How does the coordinate rule for making 2 similar shapes relate to the scale factor?

The coordinate rule for creating similar shapes involves multiplying the coordinates of the original shape by a scale factor. This scale factor determines how much larger or smaller the new shape will be compared to the original. For example, if the scale factor is 2, every coordinate of the original shape is doubled, resulting in a shape that is twice the size. Thus, the scale factor directly influences the dimensions and proportions of the similar shapes while maintaining their overall shape.
