Question

Triangle PQR is transformed to triangle P'Q'R'. Triangle PQR has vertices P(4, 0), Q(0, −4), and R(−8, −4). Triangle P'Q'R' has vertices P'(1, 0), Q'(0, −1), and R'(−2, −1).

Plot triangles PQR and P'Q'R' on your own coordinate grid.

Part A: What is the scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P'Q'R'? Explain your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Write the coordinates of triangle P"Q"R" obtained after P'Q'R' is reflected about the y-axis. (4 points)

Part C: Are the two triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' congruent? Explain your answer.
