Graph the image of triangle RST after a dilation factor of 1%2F3, centered at the center.
R (-6,9)
S (9,9)
T (-7,-6)

Dilations are enlargements (or reductions)!!
Dilation with scale factor 1%2F3, multiply by 1%2F3.
(x, y) → (%281%2F3%29x, %281%2F3%29 )
R[1] (%281%2F3%29%28-6%29,%281%2F3%299)
S[1] (%281%2F3%299,%281%2F3%299)
T[1] (%281%2F3%29%28-7%29,%281%2F3%29%28-6%29)
=>
R[1] (-2,3)
S[1] (3,3)
T[1] (-7%2F3,-2)
