To find the coordinates of points A' and B' after a dilation with a scale factor of 5 centered at the origin, we can use the following formula for dilation:

\[ (x, y) \rightarrow (kx, ky) \]

where \( k \) is the scale factor.

  1. For point A(1, 2): \[ A' = (5 \times 1, 5 \times 2) = (5, 10) \]

  2. For point B(-2, -1): \[ B' = (5 \times -2, 5 \times -1) = (-10, -5) \]

Therefore, the coordinates after dilation are:

A' (5, 10) and B' (-10, -5).

The correct response is:

A′ (5, 10) and B′ (−10, −5).
