Question

A figure has been dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 17 . If dilation from the origin maps the dilated image back onto the original figure, what is its scale factor?

Answer 1

1/17

Explanation:

if i am understanding this right, you need to know what scale factor you need to turn the dilated image back to its original size? if that is the case, then you take the inverse (1/x) of 17, so (1/17)
