(-2.5, 0)
(0, 2.5)
(0, -2.5)
(-2.5, -5)
In order to find the new coordinates of the vertex D', we will multiply the original coordinates of D by the scale factor of 1/2.
Original coordinates of D: (-5, 0)
New x-coordinate of D': (-5) * 1/2 = -2.5
New y-coordinate of D': (0) * 1/2 = 0
Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertex D' are (-2.5, 0).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(-2.5, 0)
