(4,4)

==================

To find the image of a point after a dilation, we multiply the coordinates of the point by the scale factor.

In this case, the scale factor is 1/3.

So, to find the image of (12,12), we multiply each coordinate by 1/3:

  • (12*(1/3), 12*(1/3)) = (4,4)

Therefore, the image of (12,12) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/3 centered at the origin is (4,4).
