Answer 1

To find the coordinates of points A' and B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 2 and the center of dilation at the origin, we use the formula for dilation:

\[
(x', y') = (kx, ky)
\]

where \((x, y)\) are the original coordinates, \(k\) is the scale factor, and \((x', y')\) are the new coordinates after dilation.

**For point A(-4, 1):**
- Scale factor \(k = 2\)
- Original coordinates: \((-4, 1)\)

Calculating the new coordinates:
\[
A' = (2 \times -4, 2 \times 1) = (-8, 2)
\]

**For point B(-1, 3):**
- Scale factor \(k = 2\)
- Original coordinates: \((-1, 3)\)

Calculating the new coordinates:
\[
B' = (2 \times -1, 2 \times 3) = (-2, 6)
\]

So the coordinates of \(A'\) and \(B'\) after dilation are:
\[
A'(-8, 2) \text{ and } B'(-2, 6)
\]

Thus, the correct response is:
**A′ (−8, 2) and B′ (−2, 6)**.
