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
