Answer: C. 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Large Shape: S (-4, 12) T (2, -4) U (6, -8) V (-12, -8)

Small Shape: S (-1, 3) T (0.5, -1) U (1.5, -2) V (-3, -2)

For the smaller shape the distance between V and U is 4.5

For the larger shape the distance between V and U is 18

So when you divide
(4.5)/(18) you should get 0.25

S:
(-4)/(-1)=4
-4 *0.25=-1

T:
(2)/(0.5)=4
2*0.25=0.5

U:
(6)/(1.5)=4
6*0.25=1.5

V:
(-12)/(-3) =4
-12*0.25=-3

I hope this helps
