Question

The coordinates of the vertices of trapezoid EFGH are E (-8, 8), F(-4, 12), G(-4, 0), and H(-8, 4). The coordinates of the vertices of trapezoid E'F'G'H' are E' (-8,6), F'(-5, 9), G' (-5,0), and H'(-8, 3). Which statement correctly describes the relationship between trapezoid EFGH and trapezoid E'F'G' H'?

Answer 1

According to the given vertices, we can observe that they were transformed, where the factor of dilation is 3/4 about point E beacuse its x-coordinate didn't variate.

To find the scale factor, we just divide 6/8, which is equivalent to 3/4.

Hence, the right answer is the first option because I dilation makes the image different that the pre-image.
