Answer:

C. Dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection about the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given triangle with vertices A(1,2), B(0,0) and C(3,-1).

1. Dilation by a factor of 2 has the rule:

(x,y)→(2x,2y)

So,

  • A(1,2)→A''(2,4);
  • B(0,0)→B''(0,0);
  • C(3,-1)→C''(6,-2).

2. Reflection about the y-axis has the rule:

(x,y)→(-x,y)

So,

  • A''(4,2)→A'(-4,2);
  • B''(0,0)→B'(0,0);
  • C''(6,-2)→C'(-6,-2).

Points A', B' and C' are exactly vertices of the triangle A'B'C' shown in the diagram.
