Answer 1

When performing a dilation from a point with a scale factor, the point itself remains unchanged.

In this case, the center of dilation is point L, which is at (2, 4). After dilation, the point L' will still be located at (2, 4), regardless of the scale factor or the locations of any other points.

Therefore, the correct response is:

(2, 4)
