How do you find a scale factor of a line segment?
Take the coordinates of for example, x and x'. Arrange them into a fraction. Add them together and if there is a negative in a cordinate, the answer will be negative. Just use the negative/positive rule.

Negative
How does scale factor relate to perimeter?
Scale factor and perimeter are related because if the scale factor is 2, then the perimeter will be doubled. So whatever the scale factor is, that is how many times the perimeter will be enlarged.

1 shape cannot have a scale factor. A scale factor is something (a factor) that relates one shape to another.
A transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure?
Scaling will proportionally reduce or enlarge a figure. The amount of scaling is given by the scale factor (greater than zero) If the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced and it is sometimes called a contraction If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged, and it is called a dilation or enlargement. If a centre of enlargement is used, the distance of every point from the centre is multiplied by the scale factor. The scale factor can be negative in which case the distance to the new point is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original point.
