Examine the figures below. What is the scale factor of dilation that maps ∆ABC onto ∆A'B'C'?A. 2B. 12C. −12D. −2


Given:
We get the points C'(-4,-4) and C(-2,-2) from the graph.
A'(-2,4) and A(-1,2).
Required:
We need to find the scale factor of dilation that maps ∆ABC onto ∆A'B'C'.
Explanation:
Consider the map C(-2,-2) onto C'(-4,-4).
The ratio of the x-coordinates is
[tex]\frac{-4}{-2}=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]The scale factor is 2.
Final answer:
The scale factor is 2.
