What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor write a ratio from the side length of the small triangle to a corresponding side length of the large triangle.
C'B' has the distance 3 units and CB has the distance 9 units.
The ratio then is 3/9 = 1/3. So the scale factor is 1/3 because it is shrinking the larger triangle to the smaller as shown by the ' marks on the letters.
Answer: C. [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of vertices of any figure(pre-image) (x,y) after dilation with scale factor 'k' will become : (kx,ky)→ Image.
such that [tex]k=\dfrac{\text{coordinate of x in image}}{\text{coordinate of x in pre-image}}[/tex]
From the given figure, the coordinates of point C (in pre-image)=(-6,-6)
And the coordinates of image = (-2,-2)
[tex]\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{-2}{-6}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hence, the scale factor of the dilation = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
