For this case we have the following ordered pairs:
(6, 9)
(4, 6)
The scale factor can be found in two different ways:

Therefore, the scale factor is given by:
Answer:
The scale factor of the dilation is 1.5
248,700
682 is closer to 700 than to 600
Answer:
3 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3 * 24 = 72
9 * 8 = 72
3 * 15 = 45
9 * 5 = 45
The answer is A,

. This is because when plugging in -2 for x, the expression will look like this:

. To make the exponent positive, you have to flip it into a fraction. Then it will be

. Lastly, you simplify the denominator into 81.
