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

\[ (x', y') = (k \cdot x, k \cdot y) \]

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

Given:

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

Now we calculate the dilated coordinates:

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

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

Now we have:

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

None of the options provided match these calculations, as they appear to be different from what we found. Therefore, based on the process, the correct dilated coordinates should be \( A'(-78, 39) \) and \( B'(-156, 117) \).
