The length of a rectangle is 9 inches and is dilated to 6 inches. What is the scale factor?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@hartnn help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has a scale factor of minus two I believe

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

thats not a choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I might be wrong though. Let me check :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the choices?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

negative two-thirds 3 two-thirds three-halves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's three-halves :)

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

ty :) Under a dilation, triangle XYZ where X(6, 3), Y(-2, 4), and Z(10, -2) becomes triangle X’Y’Z’ where X’(3, 1.5), Y’(-1, 2), and Z’(5, -1). What is the scale factor for this dilation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9/6= 1.5 and 1.5 in fraction form is 3/2 or three-halves :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay gimme a sec

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are your choices?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
