I'm sorry I gave you the wrong scale factor, it's 2 not 4

To dilate triangle ABC by a scale factor of 4 with the center at the origin, you multiply each coordinate of the triangle's vertices by the scale factor.
Given point A with coordinates (3, -4), the dilation is calculated as follows:
\[
A' = (x \cdot k, y \cdot k)
\]
where \(k\) is the scale factor.
For point A (3, -4):
\[
A' = (3 \cdot 4, -4 \cdot 4) = (12, -16)
\]
So, after dilation, point A will be at (12, -16).
If you are referring to a point with coordinates (6, -8), that is not the dilation of point A. The point resulting from dilating A by a factor of 4 is (12, -16).
If you have other vertex coordinates to dilate, please provide them and I can calculate those as well!

No problem! Let's perform the dilation of triangle ABC with a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin, for point A with coordinates (3, -4).
Using the dilation formula:
\[
A' = (x \cdot k, y \cdot k)
\]
where \(k\) is the scale factor (in this case, \(k = 2\)).
For point A (3, -4):
\[
A' = (3 \cdot 2, -4 \cdot 2) = (6, -8)
\]
So the dilated coordinates of point A are indeed (6, -8).
If you have other points of the triangle to dilate, feel free to share!
