To perform a dilation with a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin, you multiply the coordinates of the original point by the scale factor.

1. **For point Y**, if we denote the original coordinates of point Y as (x, y), the new coordinates after dilation would be:
\[
(4x, 4y)
\]

2. **For point W**, the same process applies. If we denote the original coordinates of point W as (x, y), the new coordinates would be:
\[
(4x, 4y)
\]

You need to provide the original coordinates of points Y and W to find their new coordinates after the dilation. If you have the coordinates, you can simply perform the multiplication to find the dilated coordinates.

For example:
- If Y is at (2, 3), after dilation it would be (4*2, 4*3) = (8, 12).
- If W is at (−2, −2), after dilation it would be (4*(-2), 4*(-2)) = (−8, −8).

Please provide the original coordinates of points Y and W if you would like to compute their new positions after dilation! If the original coordinates are given, you can select the correct response from the options you listed.
