Answer:
The scale factor is 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The dilation is a non-rigid transformation that produce similar figures
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In this problem
ABCD and A'B'C'D' are similar
therefore

Find the scale factor
Looking at the graph
we have

Let
z ---> the scale factor

substitute the values

Parallel = same slope
Use formula: y = mx + b
Plug in the values (solve for b)
y = 3/2x + b
6 = 3/2(0) + b, b = 6
Solution: y = 3/2x + 6
Store A: 1 foot= 42.50÷5 = $8.50
Store B= 1 foot= 49.50÷6 = $8.25
Answer:
Store B has a better buy because the price for 1 foot sandwich is cheaper than Store A.
