Answer:

The image of the point is (8, 4)

Explanation:

If the point (x, y) dilated by a scale factor k centered at the origin, then its image is (kx, ky)

Let us solve the question

∵ The point is (2, 1)

x = 2 and y = 1

∵ The point dilated by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin

k = 4

→ By using the rule above multiply each coordinate of the point by 4

∵ The image of the point is (kx, ky)

∵ kx = 4 × 2

kx = 8

∵ ky = 4 × 1

ky = 4

The image of the point is (8, 4)
