Given the coordinates:

A(-2, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -2)

Scale factor, K = 3

A dilation ia a form of transformation that changes the size of a figure, but the shape remains the same.

To dilate the figure, multiply the coordinates by the scale factor to get the new corrdinates.

Thus, we have:

A(-2, 4) ==> (-2 x 3, 4 x 3) ==> (-6, 12)

B(4, -1) ==> (4 x 3, -1 x 3) ==> (12, -3)

C(-1, -2) ==> (-1 x 3, -2 x 3) ==> (-3, -6)

Therefore, the new coordinates after a dilation with a scale factor of 3 is:

A'(-6, 12)

B'(12, -3)

C(-3, -6)

ANSWER:

A'(-6, 12)

B'(12, -3)
