Trigonometry question

Answer 1

Answer:

The scale factors that make figure smaller are the option D. -0.5 and the option E. 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1, then the image will be larger than the pre-image.

If the absolute value of the scale factor is less than 1, then the image will be smaller than the pre-image.

If the absolute value of the scale factor is equal to 1, then the image will be the same size than the pre-image.

Additionally, a negative scale factor causes the dilation to rotate 180 degrees

therefore

In this problem

The scale factors that make figure smaller are the option D. -0.5 and the option E 0.25
