If point O represents the origin, PQ = 12 units, and P'Q' = 3 units, find the scale factor. (Note: point O represents the origin, what is the scale factor to dilate a shape on the other side of the origin?)
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To transform PQR into P'Q'R, dilate the preimage by 1/4, or shrink it by a scale factor of 4 because 3/12 = 1/4
