Dilations

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)
