1 answer

To find the coordinates \(A'\) and \(B'\) after dilation of points \(A\) and \(B\) with a scale factor of 13 centered at the origin, we use the dilation transformation formula:

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

where \(k\) is the scale factor.

Given:

  • \(A(-6, 3)\)
  • \(B(-12, 9)\)
  • Scale factor \(k = 13\)

Now we apply the dilation to each point:

For point \(A(-6, 3)\):

\[ A' = (13 \cdot -6, 13 \cdot 3) = (-78, 39) \]

For point \(B(-12, 9)\):

\[ B' = (13 \cdot -12, 13 \cdot 9) = (-156, 117) \]

Thus, the coordinates after dilation are:

  • \(A'(-78, 39)\)
  • \(B'(-156, 117)\)

In summary:

  • \(A' = (-78, 39)\)
  • \(B' = (-156, 117)\)
