Triangle FGH has vertices F(−4, 0), G(0, 4), and H(4, 0). A dilation, centered at the origin, is applied to this triangle. The image has vertices F′(−12, 0), G′(0, 12), and H′(12, 0). What is the scale factor of this dilation?

Enter your answer in the box.

can i get the link to the assignment?

step-by-step explanation:

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

no solution

step-by-step explanation:

there is not enough information in the problem to solve.
