Answer:

U'(12, 15)

Explanation:

Given point U(4, 5) is part of figure STUVW that is dilated by a factor of 3 about the origin, you want the coordinates of U'.

Dilation

Dilation about the origin multiplies each coordinate value by the scale factor:

U' = 3U

U' = 3(4, 5) = (12, 15)

The coordinates of U' are (12, 15).
