I really need help with this one question.
Circle 1: center (8,5), with a radius of 6
Circle 2: center (-2,1) with a radius of 2
1. What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?
2. What scale factor does the dilation from Circle 1 to Circle 2 have?
I will answer this tenatively , as no one has yet.....
To get from circle one to circle two, you will need to
Translate 10 to the left (8-(-2)) AND
Translate DOWN 4 (5-1) AND
introduce a dilation factor of 1/3 (1/3 x 6 =2)
