Answer:

C' = (-3, 4)

Explanation:

When a shape is dilated by a factor of 3, the size of the shape is multiplied by 3 in both the x and y directions. To find the new coordinates of point C' after a dilation by a factor of 3, we can multiply the original coordinates of point C by 3.

The original coordinates of point C are (-2, -10). When we multiply these coordinates by 3, we get (-6, -30) for the new coordinates of C' after the dilation. So the answer is (-6, -30)

Answer: (9, 9)

Reason:

Point C is located at (3,3)

Triple each coordinate since the scale factor is 3. That's how we go from (3,3) to (9,9)

If the scale factor was 5 for instance, then we'd go from (3,3) to (15,15)

This trick works only if the center of dilation is the origin.
