Asked by Zephyr Benedict

A graph shows a coordinate plane shows A (2, 3) and B (4, 1) connected in a line segment along A' with (6, 9) and B' (12, 3) being connected in a line segment.
Determine the scale factor used in the dilation of line segment AB, centered at the origin.

Scale factor k = 3.

Check: A' = (3·2, 3·3) = (6,9) and B' = (3·4, 3·1) = (12,3), so both points are the result of a dilation about the origin by factor 3.
