Explanation
Since the scaling factor of the dilation (0.5) is fewer than 1, it shrinks (make smaller) the triangle around the origin (zero). Intuitively, the dilation is getting the points of the triangle closer to zero (in a way that preserves the shape of the triangle).
Formally, to know the coordinates of a point of the triangle after the dilation, we just need to multiply the original coordinates of the point by the scaling factor (this works for the dilation is around zero).
The original coordinates of D are
[tex](3,0)\text{.}[/tex]
Multiplying them by the scale factor, we get
[tex]0.5\cdot(3,0)=(0.5\cdot3,0.5\cdot0)=(1.5,0)\text{.}[/tex]Answer
The coordinates of D after the given dilation is
[tex](1.5,0)\text{.}[/tex]
