PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! :(((

ΔLʹMʹNʹ is a dilation of ΔLMN with the origin as the center of dilation.

The coordinates of the vertex of ∠LʹMʹNʹ are (6, 12).

If the scale factor is 3, what are the coordinates of the vertex of ∠LMN?

Since the origin is the center of the dilation, this means we simply multiply every coordinate of the given point by the scale factor.

(6,12) would turn into (18,36) since
6*3 = 18
12*3 = 36

The final answer is (18,36)
