SOLUTION: suppose you have AB on a coordinate located at A(-3,-4) and B(5,-4). Under a dilation centered at (9,0), AB becomes A'B' with coordinates A'(6,-1) and B'(8,-1). What is the scale f

Question 1080602: suppose you have AB on a coordinate located at A(-3,-4) and B(5,-4). Under a dilation centered at (9,0), AB becomes A'B' with coordinates A'(6,-1) and B'(8,-1). What is the scale factor for this dilation? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Everything shrank,
and I do nos need to know where the dilation is centered.
Distance AB was 8, and distance A'B' is 2,
so the dilation factor is .
Knowing the center, I would say that points A and B,
with have images
with ,
so that makes the dilation factor .
