1. **State the problem:** We need to find the translation rule and the scale factor of the dilation centered at the origin that transforms triangle ABC with vertices A(-5,1), B(-7,4), C(-9,1) to triangle A'B'C' with vertices A'(8,-8), B'(0,2), C'(-8,-8). 2. **Understand the transformation:** The transformation is a translation followed by a dilation centered at the origin. The translation moves triangle ABC to a new position, then the dilation scales it about the origin. 3. **Find the translation rule:** Let the translation be (x,y) ↦ (x + h, y + k). 4. **Apply translation to A:** After translation, A(-5,1) becomes A_t = (-5 + h, 1 + k). 5. **Apply dilation centered at origin:** The dilation with scale factor $s$ maps A_t to A' = $(s(-5 + h), s(1 + k)) = (8, -8)$. 6. **Set up equations for A':** $$s(-5 + h) = 8$$ $$s(1 + k) = -8$$ 7. **Similarly for B:** B(-7,4) translates to B_t = (-7 + h, 4 + k), then dilates to B' = $(s(-7 + h), s(4 + k)) = (0, 2)$. 8. **Set up equations for B':** $$s(-7 + h) = 0$$ $$s(4 + k) = 2$$ 9. **From B' x-coordinate:** $$s(-7 + h) = 0 \implies -7 + h = 0 \implies h = 7$$ 10. **From B' y-coordinate:** $$s(4 + k) = 2 \implies 4 + k = \frac{2}{s}$$ 11. **From A' x-coordinate:** $$s(-5 + h) = 8 \implies s(-5 + 7) = 8 \implies s(2) = 8 \implies s = 4$$ 12. **From A' y-coordinate:** $$s(1 + k) = -8 \implies 4(1 + k) = -8 \implies 1 + k = -2 \implies k = -3$$ 13. **Check B' y-coordinate with found values:** $$4(4 + (-3)) = 4(1) = 4 \neq 2$$ 14. **Check C' to confirm:** C(-9,1) translates to C_t = (-9 + 7, 1 - 3) = (-2, -2), then dilates by 4: $$4(-2) = -8, 4(-2) = -8$$ matches C'(-8,-8). 15. **Adjust B' y-coordinate:** Since B' y-coordinate is 2, but calculation gives 4, the given points may have slight approximation errors. The scale factor $s=4$ and translation $(h,k) = (7,-3)$ fit well for A' and C'. 16. **Final translation rule:** $$(x,y) \mapsto (x + 7, y - 3)$$ 17. **Final scale factor:** $$4$$ **Answer:** Translation: $(x,y) \mapsto (x + 7, y - 3)$ Scale factor: $4$
