As you forgot to mention the diagram. I was able to find the diagram. Hence, I am attaching and solving the question based on that diagram, which anyways would clear your concept.
Answer:
we conclude that the segment AB was dilated by scale factor 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, it is clear that the original points A and B are located
at (0, 2) and (2, 3) respectively.
i.e.
As the coordinates of the dilated segment A'B' are given as:
A scale factor is basically a number that multiplies an object or quantity.
For instance, the 'D' in [tex]y = Dx[/tex] is the scale factor for x.
If the equation were y = 7x, then the factor would have been 5.
As the coordinates of the dilated segment A'(0, 6) and B'(6, 9) are 3 times the coordinates of the original segment A(0, 2) and B(2, 3).
i.e.
A(0, 2) → (0×3, 2×3) = A'(0, 6)
B(2, 3) → (2×3, 3×3) = B'(6, 9)
Therefore, we conclude that the segment AB was dilated by scale factor 3.
