By comparing the perimeters, we can deduce the scaling factor:
The areas scale with the square of the scaling factor, so the new area is

Quotient means divide, meaning we'll divide 6 by -1/2.
When dealing with fraction division, we flip the fraction in the second place and then change the problem to multiplication.
Anything over 1 is just itself, so -2/1 becomes -2.
Finally, we multiply 6 and -2.
So the quotient of 6 and -1/2 is -12.
