1 answer

To find the coordinates A' and B' after dilation, we multiply the x and y coordinates of A and B by the scale factor of 2.

For A(3, 7):
x-coordinate of A' = 3 * 2 = 6
y-coordinate of A' = 7 * 2 = 14

For B(4, 9):
x-coordinate of B' = 4 * 2 = 8
y-coordinate of B' = 9 * 2 = 18

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D) A′(6, 14) and B′(8, 18)
