To perform a dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin for each of the points, we will multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor.

  1. For point A(-2, -2): \[ A' = (3 \cdot -2, 3 \cdot -2) = (-6, -6) \]

  2. For point B(-4, -3): \[ B' = (3 \cdot -4, 3 \cdot -3) = (-12, -9) \]

  3. For point C(-2, -5): \[ C' = (3 \cdot -2, 3 \cdot -5) = (-6, -15) \]

So the coordinates after the dilation are:

  • \( A' = (-6, -6) \)
  • \( B' = (-12, -9) \)
  • \( C' = (-6, -15) \)

Final answers:

  • \( A' = (-6, -6) \)
  • \( B' = (-12, -9) \)
  • \( C' = (-6, -15) \)
