To find the coordinates after dilation with a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin, we can use the formula for dilation. The new coordinates \((x', y')\) of a point \((x, y)\) after dilation can be given by:

\[ x' = k \cdot x \] \[ y' = k \cdot y \]

where \(k\) is the scale factor.

Given the points:

  • \(A(3, 7)\)
  • \(B(4, 9)\)

Let's apply the scale factor \(k = 2\):

For point \(A(3, 7)\): \[ A'(x', y') = (2 \cdot 3, 2 \cdot 7) = (6, 14) \]

For point \(B(4, 9)\): \[ B'(x', y') = (2 \cdot 4, 2 \cdot 9) = (8, 18) \]

Thus, after dilation, the coordinates are:

  • \(A'(6, 14)\)
  • \(B'(8, 18)\)

The correct response from the choices you provided is: A′(6, 14) and B′(8, 18).
