Triangle abc has coordinates of a(-8,-8) b(4,-2) and c(2,2) find the coordinates of its image after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5

A(-12,-12) B(6,-3) C(3,3)

A(-5.33,-5.33) B(2.67,-1.33) C(1.33,1.33)

A(-12,-8) B(6,-2) C(3,2)

A(-8,-8) B(4,-2) C(2,2)

I’m not looking for answers I just need someone to explain this to me because I have no clue what to do

since the origin is the center of dilation, it's easy. Just multiply all the coordinates by 1.5

Since they are all even numbers, there will be no fractions in the answer.
Would the answer be A?
correct
