Answer with explanation:

We are given a triangle with vertices:

Let A(-3,-3) , B(0,2) and C(-2,3)

Now, the triangle is to be dilated with a scale factor of -3 and center of dilation (0,0).

This means that each of the vertices of the triangle will be transformed by using the rule:

(x,y) → (-3x,-3y)

Hence, we get:

A(-3,-3) → A'(9,9)

B(0,2) → B'(0,-6)

C(-2,3) → C'(6,-9)
