Jashon performed a transformation on a triangle with pre-image coordinates D(-6,0) E(-6,3) and F(-9,9). The coordinates of the image are D'(-2,0) E'(-2,1) and F' (-3,3). He challenges his friend Steve to describe the transformation. What response is correct?

• The pre-image was translated 3 units to the left

• The pre-image was translated 3 units to the right

• The pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 1/3.

• The pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 3.
