To find the coordinates \(A'\) and \(B'\) after dilation of the line segment \(AB\) with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin, we can apply the following formula for dilation:
If \( (x, y) \) is a point, then after dilation with a scale factor \(k\) centered at the origin, the new coordinates \( (x', y') \) are given by:
\[ (x', y') = (kx, ky) \]
Given \(A(3, 7)\) and \(B(4, 9)\) and the scale factor of \(2\):
-
For point \(A(3, 7)\): \[ A' = (2 \cdot 3, 2 \cdot 7) = (6, 14) \]
-
For point \(B(4, 9)\): \[ B' = (2 \cdot 4, 2 \cdot 9) = (8, 18) \]
So the \(A'\) and \(B'\) coordinates after dilation are \(A'(6, 14)\) and \(B'(8, 18)\).
The correct response is: A′(6, 14) and B′(8, 18).
