Explanation:

To solve this, we first need the coordinates of the original triangle's vertices. Let's assume the grid has each square as 1 unit. Let's find the coordinates:

• Let's assume the original coordinates (by looking at the grid, we need to define them. Let's suppose:
• Let’s find the coordinates of \( X \), \( Y \), \( Z \). Let's assume the grid has the origin (0,0) at the bottom right, but since it's a leftward grid, we need to define the x and y axes. Wait, the grid has a horizontal axis (let's say x-axis, left is negative, right is positive) and vertical axis (y-axis, up is positive, down is negative). Wait, maybe better to count the grid squares. Let's assume:

Looking at the graph (even though not fully visible, let's assume standard grid with each square 1 unit. Let's suppose:

Let’s define the coordinates:

• Let’s say \( X \) is at (-6, 8) (assuming the rightmost is x=0, so moving left 6 units, up 8 units)
• \( Y \) is at (0, 4) (rightmost, up 4 units)
• \( Z \) is at (-10, 1) (left 10 units, up 1 unit)

Wait, maybe better to get the correct coordinates. Alternatively, let's assume the original coordinates:

Wait, maybe the original coordinates are:

Let’s count the grid. Let's suppose:

• \( X \): Let's say from the right (y-axis), moving left 6 units, up 8 units: so \( X(-6, 8) \)
• \( Y \): on the y-axis (x=0), up 4 units: \( Y(0, 4) \)
• \( Z \): left 10 units, up 1 unit: \( Z(-10, 1) \)

Now, to scale with \( k = \frac{3}{4} \), we multiply each coordinate by \( \frac{3}{4} \).

Step 1: Find \( X' \)

\( X(-6, 8) \)
Multiply x-coordinate: \( -6 \times \frac{3}{4} = -\frac{18}{4} = -4.5 \)
Multiply y-coordinate: \( 8 \times \frac{3}{4} = 6 \)
So \( X'(-4.5, 6) \)

Step 2: Find \( Y' \)

\( Y(0, 4) \)
Multiply x-coordinate: \( 0 \times \frac{3}{4} = 0 \)
Multiply y-coordinate: \( 4 \times \frac{3}{4} = 3 \)
So \( Y'(0, 3) \)

Step 3: Find \( Z' \)

\( Z(-10, 1) \)
Multiply x-coordinate: \( -10 \times \frac{3}{4} = -\frac{30}{4} = -7.5 \)
Multiply y-coordinate: \( 1 \times \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \)
So \( Z'(-7.5, 0.75) \)

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are different. Let's re-examine. Maybe the grid is such that the rightmost column is x=0, and each column to the left is -1, -2, etc. Each row up is +1, +2, etc.

Alternatively, let's assume the original coordinates:

Looking at the triangle, let's find the coordinates:

• \( X \): Let's say the x-coordinate (left-right) is -6 (6 units left of y-axis), y-coordinate (up-down) is 8 (8 units up from bottom)
• \( Y \): x=0, y=4
• \( Z \): x=-10, y=1

Then scaling by \( \frac{3}{4} \):

\( X' \): \( (-6 \times \frac{3}{4}, 8 \times \frac{3}{4}) = (-4.5, 6) \)

\( Y' \): \( (0 \times \frac{3}{4}, 4 \times \frac{3}{4}) = (0, 3) \)

\( Z' \): \( (-10 \times \frac{3}{4}, 1 \times \frac{3}{4}) = (-7.5, 0.75) \)

So the coordinates are:

\( X'(-4.5, 6) \)

\( Y'(0, 3) \)

\( Z'(-7.5, 0.75) \)

If the original coordinates are different, adjust accordingly. But based on typical grid problems, these are the scaled coordinates.
