B'=([

C′=([
],[
])

Answer 1

To perform a dilation of a triangle around the origin with a scale factor of 3, you multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor.

Given the vertices:

• \( A(-2, -2) \)
• \( B(-4, -3) \)
• \( C(-2, -5) \)

We will calculate the new coordinates \( A' \), \( B' \), and \( C' \) as follows:

1. For A':

   • \( A' = (3 \times -2, 3 \times -2) = (-6, -6) \)

2. For B':

   • \( B' = (3 \times -4, 3 \times -3) = (-12, -9) \)

3. For C':

   • \( C' = (3 \times -2, 3 \times -5) = (-6, -15) \)

Therefore, the coordinates of the dilated points are:

• \( A' = ( -6, -6 ) \)
• \( B' = ( -12, -9 ) \)
• \( C' = ( -6, -15 ) \)

So, in the required format:

A' = ([−6],[−6])
B' = ([−12],[−9])
C′ = ([−6],[−15])
