Question

∆ABC is transformed with the center of dilation at the origin.

Pre-image: ∆ABC with vertices A(−3, 4), B(−1, 12), C(4, −2)
Image: ∆A'B'C' with vertices A' (−0.6, 0.8), B' (−0.2, 2.4), C' (0.8, −0.4)
What is the scale factor of the dilation that maps the pre-image to the image?

I think the scale factor is 8/3

Answer 1

@dude

Answer 2

Not quite, the scale factor is supposed to be between 0 and 1 since the image is smaller

Answer 3

@dude 1/5
