Vertices of the given triangle are: (0, 0) , (8, 0) and (-6, 0)

If we dilate the triangle with a scale factor of 1/2 , then the new vertices will be...

(0*(1)/(2), 0*(1)/(2) )= (0,0)

(8*(1)/(2), 0*(1)/(2) )= (4,0)

(0*(1)/(2), -6*(1)/(2) )= (0,-3)

Now we will just plot those vertices for getting the dilated triangle.
