Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

You want the given triangle dilated by a factor of -3 about point A.

Dilation

To find the image point corresponding to a pre-image point, multiply the pre-image point's distance from A by the dilation factor. The negative sign means the distance to the image point is measured in the opposite direction.

In the attached figure, the chosen point is 4 units up and 5 units right of A. Its image in the dilated figure is 3·4 = 12 units down, and 3·5 = 15 units left of A.

This same process can be used to locate the other vertices of the triangle's image.
