Answer:

A. $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of dilation is the ratio of the length of any of the corresponding sides of rectangle R'S'T'Q to rectangle PQRS.

R'S' = 3

RS = 15

Thus,

Scale factor = $\frac{R'S'}{RS} = \frac{3}{15}$

Simplify

Scale factor = $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached Jaxon is 10 blocks east and 5 blocks north.

So x-coordinates of Jaxon will be 10 units and y-coordinates will be 5 units.

and coordinates will be (10,5)

Similarly coordinates of Isaac will be defined by his distance towards west and distance towards south.

So x-coordinates will be 8 units and y-coordinates will be 15 units.

Therefore, coordinates of Isaac will be (-8,-15).
