△RST is dilated with the rule DT,1/3 (x, y), where the center of dilation is T(3, –2).

Answers:
The distance between the x-coordinates of R and T is .:3
The distance between the y-coordinates of R and T is .:6
R' is from T, so the coordinates of R' are .:1 unit left, 2 units up
R' is from T, so the coordinates of R' are .:(2, 0)
