3/4 as big as
or 25% smaller than
or 25% smaller than
In this case, the scale factor is 3/4. This means that the image will be smaller than the preimage because the scale factor is less than 1.
To find the image, you can multiply each coordinate of the preimage by the scale factor. Let's say the coordinates of a point in the preimage are (x, y). To find the corresponding point in the image, you would multiply both x and y by 3/4.
For example, if the preimage has a point (4, 6), the corresponding point in the image would be (4 * (3/4), 6 * (3/4)) = (12/4, 18/4) = (3, 4.5).
So, the image is smaller than the preimage.
