To find the coordinates \( A' \) and \( B' \) after dilation of the points \( A(-6, 3) \) and \( B(-12, 9) \) with a scale factor of 13, centered at the origin, we need to multiply each coordinate of the points by the scale factor.

  1. For point \( A(-6, 3) \): \[ A' = (13 \times -6, 13 \times 3) = (-78, 39) \]

  2. For point \( B(-12, 9) \): \[ B' = (13 \times -12, 13 \times 9) = (-156, 117) \]

Therefore, the coordinates after dilation are: \[ A'(-78, 39) \text{ and } B'(-156, 117) \]

It appears that neither of these coordinates matches any of the responses you provided. Please check the scale factor or the initial coordinates for accuracy.
