length times 3 I think the negative would only make it flip axis, not change length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

not -1 length times 3 aka 2 times 3 ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

no, 2 times 3 is not 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so turnt up jk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will take the length of the side and multiply it by the scale factor. In this case 2*-3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would be -6, which isn't a given answer. @1800_RATCHETHUNTERS if you're going to comment, stay on topic, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it's 6. Thanks everyone!
