Triangle EFG is drawn on the coordinate plane. The triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/3, with the center of dilation at the origin, to form triangle E'F'G'. Then, triangle E'F'G' is translated 3 units to the right to form triangle E''F''G''. What is the coordinate of E'' ?

When a dilation has a scale factor greater than one, the dilation is an enlargement.
