The dashed-lined triangle is a dilation image of the solid-lined triangle. Is the dilation an enlargement or a reduction? What is the scale factor of the dilation?
A coordinate grid shows both the x- and y-axes from -10 to 10 and the graphs of two triangles.
The solid triangle has vertices at
left parenthesis negative 6 comma negative 2 right parenthesis and
left parenthesis negative 6 comma 6 right parenthesis and
left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis.
The dashed triangle has vertices at
left parenthesis 2 comma negative 6 right parenthesis and
left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis and
left parenthesis 8 comma negative 2 right parenthesis.
