Answers:
The coordinates of X are (-24,0)
The scale factor is 8/3.
------------------------------------------------------
To find the scale factor, you divide the y coordinates of the points Y and V
-8/(-3) = 8/3
Notice how multiplying the y coordinate of point V gets us to the y coordinate of point Y
-3*(8/3) = -24/3 = -8
Do the same for the x coordinate of point U
-9*(8/3) = -72/3 = -24
which is the x coordinate of point X
