Question

Ion

On a coordinate plane, pre-image rectangle has points (0, 0), (6, 0), (6, negative 3), (0, negative 3. The image has points (0, 0), (2, 0), (2, negative 1), (0, negative 1).
Compare the ordered pairs of the pre-image to the image

Answer 1

Short answer: the pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 1/3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: It is being dilated by a scale factor of 1/3.

Explanation:

The pre-image has the coordinates (0,0) (6,0) (6,-3) and (0,-3) and a transformation has been applied to it to get the coordinates of the image to be (0,0) (2,0) (2,-1) ( 0,-1)

Looking at the coordinates we can see that to get from 6 to 2 you will have to multiply by 1/3 and to get from -3 to -1 you will have to multiply by 1/3.

This means that pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 1/3.
