Answer: Option A.
Explanation:
1. Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the figure is enlarged or reduced.
2. For dilation you have:
- A scale factor, that determines how much the figure will be reduced or enlarged.
- The center of dilation, which is defined a a fixed point in the plane.
3. If the figure is dilated with a scale factor of 4 and the center of dilation at the origin, you must multiply the coordinates of the original figure bu 4. Then:
(x,y)---->(4x,4y)
