Question 1064971:  Triangle ABC is transformed with the center of dilation at the origin. 
 
Pre-image: ∆ABC with vertices A(2,5), and B(6,10), C(9,-1) 
Image: ∆A'B'C' with vertices A’(0.5,1.25), B’(1.5,2.5), C’(2.25,-0.25)
 
What is the scale factor of the dilation that maps the pre-image to the image?

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Triangle ABC is transformed with the center of dilation at the origin.  
Pre-image: ∆ABC with vertices A(2,5), and B(6,10), C(9,-1) 
Image: ∆A'B'C' with vertices A’(0.5,1.25), B’(1.5,2.5), C’(2.25,-0.25)  
What is the scale factor of the dilation that maps the pre-image to the image? 
------------ 
The scale factor is (1/4)
