Answer: (-35, 30)

Explanation:

Since the scale factor is four, it denotes that it’s a positive dilation. The question is asking for 5 times the point. In other words, where would the point be if it was stretched out 5 times.

If you draw a line from the given to the QED, (-7, 6) to (-35, 30), then you’ll realize that the image is 5 times the original point.

K= (-7*5, 6*5)

Any number less than one means the point or shape is being compressed or made smaller.
