A′ (5, 10) and B′ (−2, −1)
A′ (1, 2) and B′ (−10, −5
A′ (5, 10) and B′ (10, 5)

1 answer

To find the coordinates of points A' and B' after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 5, you multiply the coordinates of each point by the scale factor.

For point A(1, 2):

  • A' = (1 * 5, 2 * 5) = (5, 10)

For point B(−2, −1):

  • B' = (−2 * 5, −1 * 5) = (−10, −5)

So the coordinates of A' and B' after the dilation are A' (5, 10) and B' (−10, −5).

The correct answer is: A′ (5, 10) and B′ (−10, −5).
