To find the coordinates of A′ and B′ after a dilation with a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin, we need to multiply the coordinates of points A and B by the scale factor.

Given:

  • \( A(-2, -3) \)
  • \( B(-4, -5) \)

Dilation Calculation:

  1. For point A: \[ A' = (4 \times -2, 4 \times -3) = (-8, -12) \]

  2. For point B: \[ B' = (4 \times -4, 4 \times -5) = (-16, -20) \]

Thus, the coordinates after dilation are:

  • \( A'(-8, -12) \)
  • \( B'(-16, -20) \)

So the correct response is: A′(−8,−12) and B′(−16,−20).
