The correct answer is Choice B.
The first step in this problem is to divide both sides by 64.
On the left side, you will have b squared.
On the right side, you will have 1/4.
Now, take the square root of both sides.
The square root of 1/4 is positive or negative 1/2.
Answer: (27, 9)
Multiply the original coordinates by the scale factor 3 to get this answer
9*3 = 27
3*3 = 9
This only works if the center of dilation is the origin.
The general rule is
where k is the scale factor.
If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as
6 people - $9.75,
24 people - $x.
Or as proportion,

Find x:

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people
