A dilation by factor 2 about the origin multiplies each coordinate by 2: (x,y) → (2x,2y).
So the image points are:
- B' = 2·(−2,−3) = (−4, −6)
- C' = 2·(3,−1) = (6, −2)
- D' = 2·(−2,3) = (−4, 6)
Plot these three points and connect them in the same order (B' → C' → D' → B') to get the dilated triangle.
