A triangle has vertices A (-2,3), B (0,0) and C (1,2) What are the coordinates of the triangle if it is reflected over the x-axis and then dilated by a scale factor of 3?

Triangle ABC has vertices A(1, 2), B(3, 5), and C(4, 3). Using the origin as the center of dilation, Triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to create Triangle A'B'C'. Which statement can be used to justify that Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle A'B'C'?
Determine the coordinates for the center of dilation of the preimage, triangle ABC with coordinates, A (1, 2), B( 3, 4), C (2, -3) that had been dialated by a scale factor of 3 to form image, triangle A'B'C' with coordinates A' (3, 6), B' (9, 12), C' (6, -9).
