Unit 4: Similarity

A triangle has vertices with coordinates (2,0), (3, -1) and (-2,-5). If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, what are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

• (5,3), (6,2), (1,-2)
• (6,0), (9,-3), (-6,-15)
• (2/3,0), (1,-1/3), (-2/3,-5/3)
• (-1,-3), (0,-4), (-5,-8)

(x, y) -> (2x, 2y) 
What is the coefficient 2 mean?

• plot 2 to the right and 2 up
• scale factor is 2 creating a new figure half the size
• scale factor is 2 making a figure twice the 
  original
• I don't understand this question : (
