Answer 1

To determine how triangle ABC can be mapped onto triangle DEF, we typically need to consider the properties of the triangles, such as their orientation and size.

1. The **reflection** line could be a vertical line (like x = k), a horizontal line (like y = k), or a diagonal line (like y = mx + b) depending on the orientation of the triangles.

2. For the **dilation centered at the origin**, the scale factor will depend on the sizes of triangles ABC and DEF. A scale factor greater than 1 indicates that triangle DEF is larger than triangle ABC, while a scale factor less than 1 indicates that triangle DEF is smaller.

Since you didn't provide specific details about the triangles, I can’t give exact values. Here’s a generic way to frame the answer once you have the information:

- For the reflection across the: **(choose the appropriate line, e.g., x-axis, y-axis, line y = x, etc.)**
- Centered at the origin with a scale factor of: **(choose the appropriate scale factor, e.g., 2, 0.5, etc.)**

Please provide the specific details of triangle ABC and triangle DEF if possible, and I can help you fill in the blanks more accurately.
