Dilations and Similarity

A triangle has vertices with coordinates A(2,0), B(3, -1) and C(-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 C'?

• (1,-2)

• (-6,-15)

• (-2/3,-5/3)

• (-5,-8)

Which of the statements is true about the graphed triangles?

• They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.

• They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.

• They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.

• They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.
