In two similar geometric figures, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor<span>. To find the </span>scale factor<span>, locate two corresponding sides, one on each figure. Write the ratio of one length to the other to find the </span>scale factor<span> from one figure to the other. say a triangle had points of A(-1,0),B(0,1),and C(1,0) and the scale factor is two you basically double all the points so the A' is (-2,0), B' is (0,2), and C' is (2,0).</span>

Hey guys plz help meee<br><br>the answers have to be in numbers.​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

\overrightarrow{AB}=\frac{-9}{-4}

\overrightarrow{CD}=\frac{-5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

A vector quantity is represented by (\frac{y}{x})

where y = y-coordinate and x = x-coordinate

Since vector AB represents a vector in 3rd quadrant,

It starts from point A and ends at B,

Therefore, coordinates of B are (-9, -4)

\overrightarrow{AB} = (\frac{-9}{-4})

Similarly vector CD starts with C and ends at D in the 2nd quadrant,

Therefore coordinates of D will be (-5, 4)

\overrightarrow{CD}=\frac{-5}{4}
