Answer:
The scale factor is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets talk about dilation
- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.
- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the
figure does not change.
- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller
the image will be
- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger
- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller
* In the problem
- The vertex A of the triangle is (-6 , 4) and its image A' is (-24 , 16)
∵ -24 ÷ -6 = 4
∵ 16 ÷ 4 = 4
∴ The scale factor is 4
∵ 4 > 1
∴ The image of the triangle will be larger
* The scale factor is 4
