Answer:

  • A'(0, 0), B'(-6, -18), C'(0, -12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation 180° is the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)

Dilation by a factor of 3 is the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (3x, 3y)

The two transformations together can be described by ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-3x, -3y)

That is, the coordinates of A, B, C are each multiplied by -3. The image vertices are ...

  A' = -3A = A'(0, 0) . . . . . . . . the center of rotation and dilation is invariant

  B' = -3B = B'(-6, -18)

  C' = -3C = C'(0, -12)

Any dilated figure will not be congruent to the original. The triangles are similar.
