To find the coordinates after dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2, we multiply both coordinates of the endpoints A and B by the scale factor.

Given points:

  • A(3, 7)
  • B(4, 9)

Applying the dilation:

For point A:

  • A′ = (2 * 3, 2 * 7) = (6, 14)

For point B:

  • B′ = (2 * 4, 2 * 9) = (8, 18)

So the coordinates after dilation are:

  • A′(6, 14) and B′(8, 18)

Thus, the correct response is: A′(6, 14) and B′(8, 18).
