Calculation:
The graph for the points is given below.

Find the distance (using distance formula) of corresponding sides and find the ratio.
AB=(20)2+(31)2=8=22
DF=(40)2+(62)2=32=42
ABDF=2242=12
AC=(23)2+(30)2=10
DG=(46)2+(60)2=40=210
ACDG=10210=12
BC=(03)2+(10)2=10
FG=(06)2+(20)2=40=210
BCFG=10210=12
From the above result, the lenght of the sides are proportional.
By the use of SSS similarity,
DFGABC.
Hence the dilation is a similarity transformation.
