On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle L M N has points (negative 1, 3), (3, 1), and (negative 1, 1). Triangle L prime M prime N prime has points (negative 2, negative 1), (6, negative 5), and (negative 2, negative 5).
Which composition of similarity transformations maps TriangleLMN to TriangleL'M'N'?

A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a translation.

Reason: Dilate by factor 2 about the origin:
(-1,3)→(-2,6), (3,1)→(6,2), (-1,1)→(-2,2).
Then translate by (0,−7) (down 7):
(-2,6)→(-2,-1), (6,2)→(6,-5), (-2,2)→(-2,-5),
which gives L' M' N'.
