To find the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 2, centered at the origin, you multiply each coordinate of the vertices by the scale factor.

Given points:

  • \( F(-4, 5) \)
  • \( G(4, 5) \)
  • \( H(-3, -4) \)

Now, apply the dilation:

  1. For point \( F \): \[ F' = (2 \cdot -4, 2 \cdot 5) = (-8, 10) \]

  2. For point \( G \): \[ G' = (2 \cdot 4, 2 \cdot 5) = (8, 10) \]

  3. For point \( H \): \[ H' = (2 \cdot -3, 2 \cdot -4) = (-6, -8) \]

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices after the dilation are:

  • \( F'(-8, 10) \)
  • \( G'(8, 10) \)
  • \( H'(-6, -8) \)
