Answer:
-40, - 42 and -44
Step-by-step explanation:
The fastes way here is trying. Lets pick a number, intelligently, and then work on it.
We need three even integers that sum -126. These will be all negative numbers and as they are consecutive they will be very similar (for example, -33 and -35 and -37). Thus, lets start by 1/3 of -126, which is -42:
(-42)+ (-44) + (-46) = - 132, so -42 no.
Lets go a step back: -40
(-40) + (-42) + (-44) = -126
So, the integers are -40, -42 and -44
When the dilation is about the origin, the scale factor multiplies every coordinate. That is (considering the x-coordinate) ...
6·k = 3
k = 3/6 = 1/2
The appropriate choice is
1. 1/2
