Answer:
A dilation (similarity transformation) is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. It requires a center point and a scale factor , k . The value of k determines whether the dilation is an enlargement or a reduction.
In simple words, it's stretching, when you dilate with scale factor of x, means you multiply the previous value with x, say co-ordinates area -2,4, so you do (-2x,4x) to find the co-ordinates after dialation,
Here the scale factor is 3, so the new co-ordinates are,
(-2×3, 4×3) which is A' (-6, 12)
similarly,
B' (12, -3)
C' (-3, -6)

The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. The smaller area is
.. (27 in^2)*(8/12)^2 = 27*(4/9) in^2 = 12 in^2
0.375 is 3/8 converted into a decimal, to get that you just divide 8 by 3.
It is in y intercept form
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept
y = 3/4 x + 2
so b = 2
therefore the y intercept is 2
