A translation and a dilation.

Reason: the image is smaller (requires a dilation/reduction) and shifted to the right (a translation). The orientation isn’t flipped, so reflections are not needed. A rotation would change the triangle’s orientation unless it’s 0°, so the natural description is dilation + translation.
