Answer: 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached graph:
D = (0, 4)
F = (3, 2)
After segment DF was dilated from the origin to create segment D'F'
D' = (0, 6)
F' = (4.5, 3)
Scale factor is obtained by calculating the proportion of the coordinates of the two segments. That is ;
Scale factor = value on dilated coordinate / value on original coordinate
Taking the x-coordinate of F and F':
Scale factor = coordinate 'x' of F' / coordinate 'x' of F
Scale factor = 4.5 / 3 = 1.5
Similarly,
Taking the y-coordinate of F and F':
Scale factor = coordinate 'y' of F' / coordinate 'y' of F
Scale factor = 3 / 2 = 1.5
