Coordinates of A'B'C':


\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)(-9,3) \\ B^(\prime)(-3,0) \\ C^(\prime)(0,6) \end{gathered}

To get coordinates of triangle ABC:

Dilate the triangle A'B'C' by a facor of 1/3:

Rule of dilation:


P(x,y)\rightarrow P^(\prime)(kx,ky)

k is the factor of dilation:

Then, you get;


\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)(-9,3)\rightarrow A^(\doubleprime)((1)/(3)(-9),(1)/(3)(3)) \\ A^(\prime)(-9,3)\rightarrow A^(\prime)^(\prime)(-3,1) \end{gathered}

Relect over x-axis:

Rule of relection:


P(x,y)\rightarrow P^(\prime)(x,-y)

Then, coordiate of point A is:


A^(\doubleprime)(-3,1)\rightarrow A(-3,-1)Then, coordinates of A are (-3,-1)
