1. **State the problem:** We have two triangles, \(\triangle TUV\) with vertices \(T(4,4), U(2,2), V(6,2)\) and \(\triangle T'U'V'\) with vertices \(T'(0,0), U'(-10,-10), V'(10,-10)\). We want to find the translation rule and the scale factor of the dilation centered at the origin that maps \(\triangle TUV\) to \(\triangle T'U'V'\). 2. **Find the translation rule:** Translation moves every point by the same vector. Since \(T\) moves to \(T'\), the translation vector is: $$ (x,y) \to (x - 4, y - 4) $$ because \(4 - 4 = 0\) and \(4 - 4 = 0\) to map \(T(4,4)\) to \(T'(0,0)\). 3. **Apply translation to other points:** - \(U(2,2)\) translates to \((2 - 4, 2 - 4) = (-2, -2)\) - \(V(6,2)\) translates to \((6 - 4, 2 - 4) = (2, -2)\) 4. **Find the scale factor of dilation centered at origin:** After translation, the points \((-2,-2)\) and \((2,-2)\) map to \(U'(-10,-10)\) and \(V'(10,-10)\) respectively by dilation. The scale factor \(k\) satisfies: $$ k = \frac{\text{distance from origin to } U'}{\text{distance from origin to translated } U} = \frac{\sqrt{(-10)^2 + (-10)^2}}{\sqrt{(-2)^2 + (-2)^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{200}}{\sqrt{8}} = \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = 5 $$ 5. **Summary:** - Translation rule: \( (x,y) \to (x - 4, y - 4) \) - Scale factor of dilation centered at origin: \(5\) Thus, the transformation is a translation by \((-4,-4)\) followed by a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor \(5\).
