Question

line segment su is dilated to create su using point q as the center of dilation. the scale factor of the dilation is

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation formula

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{distance from center to image}}{\text{distance from center to pre - image}}$

Step2: Identify distances

For point S, distance from Q to S' is 4 + 4=8, distance from Q to S is 4.

Step3: Calculate scale factor

Scale factor = $\frac{8}{4}=2$

Answer:

2
