Demystifying - Enlargement from a centre

Drills

Enlarging from a centre by a positive scale factor, with rays from the centre fixing where the image lands.

Author note — to cover

Enlarge from a given centre by positive whole-number scale factors, rays from the centre fixing image vertices, on and off coordinate axes; the image is similar, not congruent. Fractional factors are the both-tier sibling and negative factors the Higher sibling, so keep factors like 2 and 3 here. Both tiers. (G7)
