Answer:

B'(-2, 3)

Explanation:

Given the point B (-4,6)

In the question says that rectangle ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 with a center of dilation at the origin.

So the point B' (x, y) is:

x =
(1)/(2)* (-4) = -2

y =
(1)/(2)* (6) = 3

=> B'(-2, 3) we choose A

Hope it will find you well.
