Question

Point A is a vertex of a polygon. Point R is the image of A after the dilation. Find the scale factor ofthe dilation.A(-2,-3) and R (-10,-15)

Answer 1

To find the dilatation factor we can divide the componets so:

`\begin{gathered} (-2)/(-10)=0.2 \\ (-3)/(-15)=0.2 \end{gathered}`

So the dilatation factor is:

`0.2=(1)/(5)`
