The scale factor can be determined by comparing the lengths of the original line segment AB to the dilated line segment.
If the length of the original line segment AB is 1 unit, and the length of the dilated line segment is negative 3 units, then the scale factor used in the dilation is -3.
Therefore, the scale factor is -3.
