Question

PLEASE MATH HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−4, −4) .



What is the scale factor used to create the dilation?

Enter your answer as an integer or decimal in the box

Answer 1

the answer is actually -3

Answer 2

Answer: SF = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure and its image, three things are immediately obvious.....

The image is bigger

The image is inverted.

The figure and the image have a common point.

The common point is the center of dilation.  (-4, -4)

The fact that it lies BETWEEN the image and the figure means that the SF is a negative number.

This accounts for the fact that the image is inverted.

To find the Scale Factor divide  

$\frac{a side in the image}{the same side in the figure}$

Looking at the horizontal lines we see..

$\frac{a side in the image}{the same side in the figure}$ = -$\frac{6}{2}$ = -3
