Describe a similarity transformation that maps polygon A(-6,0) B(-6,-9) C(-3,-3) to E(8,-4) F(8,-7) and G(9,-7)

I have to describe the transformation that maps the first polygon onto the second, using translations, dilations, reflections( I think) I really stuck, can anyone help?

William W.

I think you have a mistake in the points. These are two triangles that are not the same size therefore dilations MUST be involved HOWEVER, they are not similar triangles so they cannot be dilations.

William is right. Please check and correct the coordinates of the points.
