To find the coordinates \( A' \) and \( B' \) after dilation of the line segment \( AB \) with a scale factor of 13, centered at the origin, you can apply the following formula for dilation:

\[ (x', y') = (k \cdot x, k \cdot y) \]

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

For point \( A(-6, 3) \):

\[ A' = (13 \cdot -6, 13 \cdot 3) = (-78, 39) \]

For point \( B(-12, 9) \):

\[ B' = (13 \cdot -12, 13 \cdot 9) = (-156, 117) \]

Based on these calculations, neither of the provided options in your question matches the calculated dilated coordinates \( A'(-78, 39) \) and \( B'(-156, 117) \). Could you please double-check your options?
