Look at side AB on the original triangle. It is 5 units long.

Now look at the dilation's side A'B'. It is 2.5 units long. The new length is half of the old length. The dilation is of magnitude 1/2.

Then it goes through a reflection and ends up on the other side of the y-axis, so it it a reflection over the y-axis.
