Quadrilateral FGHJ is dilated according to the rule
DO,Two-thirds(x,y)(two-thirds x, two-thirds y) to create the image quadrilateral F'G'H'J', which is not shown.

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral F G H J has points (negative 5, negative 4), (negative 3, negative 2), (negative 1, negative 4), (negative 3, negative 6).

What are the coordinates of point J'?

(-2,-4)
(-2,-6)
(Negative nine-halves, negative 4)
(Negative nine-halves, negative 9)

Multiply J's coordinates by the scale factor 2/3 about the origin: (-3,-6) → (-3·2/3, -6·2/3) = (-2,-4). So J' = (-2, -4).
