OpenStudy (bibby):

take each point and find it's corresponding point on the original triangle reduced / original = scale factor for example (2,-2) corresponds to (6,-6) on the original

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at the x-axis. What is the distance between the two points of the large triangle that are on the x-axis?

OpenStudy (adajiamcneal):

2 points
