Answer: Choice D

K'(0, 6), L'(6, 27), M'(12, 6)

=============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Point K is located at (0,2)

If we multiply each coordinate by 3, then K moves to a location that is 3 times further away in relation to the origin. It moves to K'(0,6)

We apply this same scale factor (3) to each coordinate of the other 2 points

L(2,9) moves to L'(6,27) after multiplying both parts by 3

M(4,2) moves to M'(12,6) after multiplying both parts by 3

Triangle KLM is similar to triangle K'L'M', but the two triangles are not congruent (since K'L'M' is larger in size).
