What is true about the dilation?

On a coordinate plane, the triangle image has points (0, 0), (2, 4), (4, 0). The triangle pre-image has points (0, 0), (4, 8), (8, 0).
It is a reduction with a scale factor between 0 and 1.
It is a reduction with a scale factor greater than 1.
It is an enlargement with a scale factor between 0 and 1.
It is an enlargement with a scale factor greater than 1.

It is an enlargement with a scale factor greater than 1. This is because the pre-image triangle is smaller than the image triangle, indicating that the image has been enlarged.
