LAST ATTEMPT IM MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! (Graph the image of the figure using the dilation given)

======================================================

Explanation:

The fraction 1/4 is equivalent to the decimal form 0.25

We multiply 0.25 with each coordinate, of each point.

For example, let's focus on point L which is at (2,-1)

Point L(2,-1) moves to L ' (0.5, -0.25) which will move it closer to the origin, which shrinks the image. Use this idea for the remaining points.

Note: this trick only works if the center of dilation is the origin.

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
