the coordinates of point c is (9/2, -3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original coordinate = C(6, -2)

scale factor r =3/4

New coordinate (c) = scale factor × the original coordinate

c = 3/4(6, -2)

c = (3/4×6, -2×3/4)

c = (18/4, -6/4)

c = (9/2, -3/2)

Hence, the coordinates of point c is (9/2, -3/2)
