A coordinate plane is shown. Triangle PQR has vertices P at negative 6 comma 6, Q at negative 6 comma 3, and R at negative 3 comma 3. Triangle P prime Q prime R prime has vertices at P prime negative 2 comma 2, Q prime at negative 2 comma 1, and R prime at negative 1 comma 1. What is the scale factor of dilation?

The scale factor of dilation from ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The vertices of ΔPQR are;

P(-6, 6), Q(-6, 3), and R(-3, 3) and the coordinates of ΔP'Q'R' are P'(-2, 2), Q'(-2, 1), and R'(-1, 1)

Given that the length, l, of each side of the triangles is given by the formula for calculating length given the vertices we have;

For side PQ, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 6), (x₂, y₂) = (-6, 3)

Given that the points have equal y-values, the length is the difference of their x-values as follows;

= 6 - 3 = 3

Similarly, length QR is the difference in the y-values, since the x-values are equal. therefore, we have;

= -3 - (-6) = 3

Length PR is given as follows;

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 6), (x₂, y₂) = (-3, 3)

= 3·√2

For P'Q', we have

P'(-2, 2), Q'(-2, 1)

= 2 - 1 = 1

= 1

For Q'R', we have

Q'(-2, 1), R'(-1, 1)

= -1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1

= 1

For P'R', we have;

P'(-2, 2), R'(-1, 1)

= √2

Therefore, given that we have

PQ/(P'Q') = PR/(P'R') = 3/1 = 3 and QR/(Q'R') = 3·√2/(√2) = 3

The scale factor of dilation from ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' = 1/3.
