Question

3. Given that ∆RSV - ∆RTU, find the coordinates of S and the scale factor. R(0, 0) T(16,0) V(0, --6) U(0, -8) ​

Answer 1

I'll give the scale factor and you can compute the coordinates of S

Explanation:

the dilation if centered about the origin is the scale factor multiplied by each coordinate.

so looking at points V and U, the scale factor F is found by solving for F:

-6xF= -8

F=8/6=4/3

Now you can compute the coordinates for S
