Can someone explain how to solve the second graph?

(05.08a)triangle abc is transformed to similar triangle a′b′c′ below: a coordinate plane is shown. triangle abc has vertices a at 2 comma 6, b at 2 comma 4, and c at 4 comma 4. triangle a prime b prime c prime has vertices a prime at 1 comma 3, b prime at 1 comma 2, and c prime at 2 comma 2. what is the scale factor of dilation? 1 over 2 1 over 3 1 over 4 1 over 5

If the discriminant if a quadratic equation is 4 which statement describes the roots?

In which direction does the left side of the graph of this function point? a(x) = 3x - x2 + 4x - 2
