pointsSOLUTION

A dilation is a stretch or a shrink in the size and location of a figure or point.

The center of dilation is a reference point used to appropriately scale the dilation of a figure.

To obtain the center of dilation, you join each of the point of the pre-image N to the point of the image Ngand obtain the point of intersection

Consider the image below

Hence

The three lines will intersect at the point D

Therefore

The center of Dilation will be point D
