The larger triangle is the image of the smaller triangle after a dilation. The center of the dilation is (−2,−2). Two triangles are graphed on a coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. The vertical y-axis ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. A dashed triangle has vertices at begin ordered pair negative 2 comma 7 end ordered pair, begin ordered pair 7 comma negative 2 end ordered pair, and begin ordered pair negative 2 comma negative 2 end ordered pair. A solid triangle has vertices at begin ordered pair negative 2 comma negative 5 end ordered pair, begin ordered pair negative 5 comma negative 2 end ordered pair, and begin ordered pair negative 2 comma negative 2 end ordered pair. What is the scale factor used to create the dilation? Enter your answer in the box.
