Question

can someone pls tell me if this is right? if its not then what is the right answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

It's right :)

Explanation:

• Dilation along the x-axis = (-7-1)/(-1-1) = 2/8 = 1/4
• Dilation along the y-axis = (-7-1)/(-1-1) = 2/8 = 1/4

Thus, the overall dilation is 1/4

Answer 2

The scale factor of the dilation is 4

How to find the scale factor of dilated figure

Dilation means changing the size of an object without changing its shape. The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.

To get the dilation for the object, we can use the base length

For the larger triangle B = 1 = (-7)

For the larger triangle B = 1  + 7
For the larger triangle B = 8

For the smaller triangle

b = 1 = (-1)

b = 1+ 1
b = 2

Scale factor = B/b

Scale factor = 8/2 = 4

Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 4
