Answer 1

here is the figure

Answer 2

see the x coordinate of the vertical line
in changes from x = 2 to x = 6

Answer 3

that should tell you the scale factor

Answer 4

um 3?

Answer 5

nope

Answer 6

it changes to x = 6 but the sharp point shifts left by 2

Answer 7

:/ is it a reduction?

Answer 8

so in total its like from x = 2 to x = 8

Answer 9

I'm confused

Answer 10

shift the dotted figure to the right till the sharp point coincides with the original one

Answer 11

you have to shift by 2. so that means the vertical like is at x = 8

Answer 12

the sharp point??

Answer 13

uh the left sharp point

Answer 14

here are the options for the scale point:
scale factor ; reduction
scale factor 4; enlargement
scale factor 3; enlargement
scale factor ; reduction

Answer 15

i know the answer i am just trying to help you get it

Answer 16
