Step 1
The distance formula is given by: d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) Plugging in the values, we get: d = √((16 - 4)^2 + (14 - (-2))^2) = √(12^2 + 16^2) = √(144 + 256) = √400 = 20 Show more…

After a dilation centered at the origin, the image of AB is A'B'. If the coordinates of the endpoints of these segments are A(6, -4), B(2, -8), A'(9, -6), and B'(3, -12), what is the scale factor of the dilation?
