Answer:
A. 2x is correct.
Explanation:
Finding the measure of the segment BC and ST by the Distance formula: B (5, 7), C (8, 8), S (1, 11), T (7, 13).
BC = √(8-5)² + (8 - 7)²
BC = √10
ST = √( 7 - 1)² + ( 13 - 11)²
ST = 2√10
Scale Factor = Image/ Pre-image = ST/BC = 2√10/√10 = 2
This means that the image, ST, is twice as large as the pre-image BC.
