Question

Identify the option that shows an example of a dilation with scale factor of 2 given preimage A and image B.

In a dilation with a scale factor of 2, every point in the preimage is moved away from the center of dilation by a distance that is twice its original distance from that center.

If point A is at coordinates \((x, y)\), the coordinates of point B after dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin (0, 0) would be:

\[
B = (2x, 2y)
\]

For example, if point A is at (1, 2), then after dilation we would find:

\[
B = (2 \times 1, 2 \times 2) = (2, 4)
\]

Thus, if point A were (1, 2), point B after the dilation with a scale factor of 2 would be (2, 4).

If you can provide specific options, I can help you identify which corresponds to this dilation effect.
