Answer

Doubles the $x$-coordinates

Work Step by Step

The matrix of the initial triangle's coordinates is: $B=\begin{bmatrix}0&2&2\\0&0&-4\end{bmatrix}$ Consider matrix $A$: $A=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$ Compute $AB$: $AB=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&2&2\\0&0&-4\end{bmatrix}$ $=\begin{bmatrix}0+0&4+0&4+0\\0+0&0+0&0-4\end{bmatrix}$ $=\begin{bmatrix}0&4&4\\0&0&-4\end{bmatrix}$ We notice that the new triangle has double $x$-coordinates in comparison with the initial triangle.
