Question

dilation The center of dilation is the origin. B(2,3) and B'(-4,-6). What is the scale factors of this dilation that transformed a B into B'.

Answer 1

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the scale factor = k

The x-coordinate of the pre-image = 2

The x-coordinate of the image =-4

`\begin{gathered} 2k=-4 \\ k=-(4)/(2) \\ k=-2 \end{gathered}`

The scale factors of this dilation that transformed a B into B​' is -2.
