Question

A quadrilateral has the following vertices: (4,4)
, (6,6)
, (8,4)
, (6,2)
. After dilation, the new quadrilateral has the following vertices: (3,3)
, (4.5,4.5)
, (6,3)
, (4.5,1.5)
. What scale factor was used to dilate the quadrilateral?(1 point)
a
Incorrect

Find the scale factor by dividing the coordinates of the new vertex by the coordinates of the corresponding original vertex.

Answer 1

Scale factor = new coordinate ÷ original coordinate.

Using (4,4) → (3,3): 3/4 = 0.75.

So the dilation scale factor is 3/4 (0.75).
