Divide the original size by the reduced size:
48 / 8 = 6
36 / 6 = 6
Both sides were reduced by the same amount, and because the image was made smaller the scale factor would be a fraction less than 1.
The scale factor would be 1/6
The answer is B.
This is a particular case, but it is not necessarily true. If triangles STU and XYZ are similar, the corresponding sides are in the same proportion. So, there exists a number 
such that
So, if 
, the corresponding sides are actually congruent, but it can be any other number. For example, if 
, triangle XYZ is exactly twice as large as triangle STU, but they are still similar.
Answer: 2 units to the left
