Question Analysis  

This question involves dilation, focusing on determining the scale factor  when the original point (-6, -9) is dilated to (-2, -3) with the origin as the center.  

 

Key Concept Explanation:  

For origin-centered dilation, the scale factor  is calculated by dividing the image coordinates by the original coordinates:
