The triangle ABC has been dilated such that the length of each side has been reduced by a factor of 3/4.

Observe closely the distance from point A to point C and the distance from point A' to point C';

Point A to C measures 4 units, while point A' to C'measures 3 units, so the dilation factor is 3/4 of the original length. The same applies to the other two sides.

Hence the algebraic expression to explain this;


(x,y)\rightarrow((3)/(4)x,(3)/(4)y)

So the correct answer is option B
