Given coordinates of the triangle RST are R(2,1), S(2,-2) and T(-1,-1).
Center of center of dilation is (2,-2).
Because center of dilation is (2,-2) so the coordinates of dilated image S(2,-2) would stay same.
Now, we need to apply rule for dilation with the scale factor 5/3.
Each of R(2,1), and T(-1,-1) would be and R' and T' would be in ratio 5/3.
We will extend RS to 5 units and TS also 5 units.
The new resulting image would be dilated triangle by a scale factor 5/3.
