Answer 1

To find the coordinates of points \( A' \) and \( B' \) after dilation with a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin, you can apply the dilation transformation to each point as follows:

For a scale factor of \( k \), the dilation of a point \( (x, y) \) is given by:

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

1. Point A: \( A(-2, -3) \) \[ A' = (4 \cdot -2, 4 \cdot -3) = (-8, -12) \]

2. Point B: \( B(-4, -5) \) \[ B' = (4 \cdot -4, 4 \cdot -5) = (-16, -20) \]

So the coordinates after dilation are:

• \( A'(-8, -12) \)
• \( B'(-16, -20) \)

Therefore, the correct response is:

A′(−8,−12) and B′(−16,−20).
