Question

PLEASE HELP?!?!

Sorry for all the questions but PLEASE HELP!!!
What is the scale factor for this dilation? Please show your work

Answer 1

Dilation factor is 2/3

Explanation:

Look at both flat lines (M to S and M' to S') and find their lengths.

M to S = 9 units

M' to S' = 6 units

The triangle has gotten smaller so the dilation factor is a fraction

new/original = 6/9 = .66666666 or 2/3

Dilation factor is 2/3
