Enlarge the triangle by scale factor 1.5 using (4,4)
as the center of enlargement.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are translation, reflection, dilation and rotation.

Dilation is the enlargement or reduction of the size of a figure. If a point A(x, y) is dilated about the center of origin by a factor k, the new point is at A'(kx, ky)

If a point A(x, y) is dilated about the point (a,b) by a factor k, the new point is at A'(k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b)

From the image the vertex of the triangle is at (0,0), (-2, 4) and (-2, 0). If the triangle is enlarged by scale factor 1.5 using (4,4)  as the center of enlargement.. Hence the new points are:

For (0,0): (1.5(0 - 4) + 4, 1.5(0 - 4) + 4) = (-2, -2)

For (-2,4): (1.5(-2 - 4) + 4, 1.5(4 - 4) + 4) = (-5, 4)

For (-2, 0): (1.5(-2 - 4) + 4, 1.5(0 - 4) + 4) = (-5, -2)

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
