The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (6,6). What is the scale factor used to create dilation?

horizontal translation of 2 units in the positive x direction

followed by

vertical translation of 3 units in the positive y direction

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
