Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.
Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure by a factor (k). If k > 1, then it is a enlargement and if k < 1, it is a reduction. If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the new point is A'(kx, ky).
Triangle DEF is a dilation of triangle ABC by a factor of 3/4. Hence the coordinates of triangle DEF is:
There is a graphing calculator called desmos that can help you answer questions like this, but, if you don't want to use that, you can just make a graph and imagine the transformation. Remember, when you reflect something over an axis, it is like you are folding the graph along the axis and your new point will be on the other side.
