Interpreting Given Information to Find a Pre-image
On a coordinate plane, the image rectangle has points (negative 3, 5), (negative 3, negative 5), (3, 5), (3, negative 5). Scale factor = 5.

For the given image and scale factor, which ordered pair is one of the pre-image vertices if the center of the pre-image is also the origin?
(Three-fifths, 1)
(Five-thirds, 1)
(1, 1)
(5, 1)

Scale factor 5 about the origin means pre-image coordinates = image coordinates ÷ 5.
For example (3, 5) → (3/5, 1).
So the correct choice is (three-fifths, 1).
