Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle is the image of the larger triangle after a dilation. The center of the dilation is (−3,−2).
The length of the base of larger triangle is 8 units
The base is reflected with center (-3,-2). the length becomes 2 units
The length of larger triangle is 8 units . the length of smaller triangle is 2 units.
8 unit becomes 2 units
LEt scale factor = x
8* x = 2
[tex]x= \frac{2}{8} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Length is decreased
So scale factor = [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex]
