Triangle ABC with vertices A (4, - 6), B (2, - 8), and C (-10, 4) is dilated by a scale factor of 2 to obtain triangle A′B′C′. Which statement best describes triangle A′B′C′?

It is similar to triangle ABC and has coordinates A′ (2, - 3), B′ (1, - 4), and C′ (-5, 2).

It is similar to triangle ABC and has coordinates A′ (8, - 12), B′ (4, - 16), and C′ (-20, 8).

It is congruent to triangle ABC and has coordinates A′ (2, - 3), B′ (1, - 4), and C′ (-5, 2).

It is congruent to triangle ABC and has coordinates A′ (8, - 12), B′ (4, - 16), and C′ (-20, 8).

If it dilated by scale factor bigger than 1, is will getting bigger. So my answer is It is similar to Triangle ABC and has coordinate A' (8, - 12), B' (4, - 16), and C' (-20, 8).
