<h3>
Answer: D) 1/3</h3>
================================================================
Explanation:
Start at (2,-3). Move up 3 and over to the right 6 spots to move to (8,0) which is where point F is located.
We can write the slope as rise/run = 3/6
Go back to (2,-3). Move up 1 and to the right 2 spots to arrive at F ' (4,-2)
Let's now compare the upward movements:
- Initially we moved up 3 units when trying to get to point F
- Now we're only moving up 1 unit when getting to F'
The starting point each time is (2,-3) which is the center of dilation. The jump from 3 to 1 is "times 1/3" and that's our scale factor. Every linear distance in the image is 1/3 times as long compared to the preimage.
We can also get the same scale factor when comparing the horizontal movements as well. The jump from 6 to 2 is also "times 1/3".
