To find the dilation of points \(A(-2, 4)\) and \(B(7, -7)\) with a center at the origin \((0, 0)\) and a dilation factor of \(k = 4\), we can apply the dilation formula:

\[ A' = (kx, ky) \]

where \((x, y)\) are the coordinates of the original point, and \(k\) is the dilation factor.

For point \(A(-2, 4)\):

  1. Calculate the dilated coordinates: \[ A' = (4 \cdot -2, 4 \cdot 4) = (-8, 16) \]

For point \(B(7, -7)\):

  1. Calculate the dilated coordinates: \[ B' = (4 \cdot 7, 4 \cdot -7) = (28, -28) \]

Summary of dilated points:

  • The dilated point \(A'\) is \((-8, 16)\).
  • The dilated point \(B'\) is \((28, -28)\).

Therefore: \[ A'(-8, 16) \] \[ B'(28, -28) \]
