We are given the following coordinates.

R(-2,3)

S(4,4)

T(2,-2)

We are asked to state the coordinates of R'S'T' after dilation of 2​

A dilation of 2 means that we have to multiply the original coordinates (RST) by 2 to get the new coordinates (R'S'T')

Since the scale factor is 2 (greater than 1) the new image will result in enlargement.

Please note that with dilation the figure remains the same only the size of the image changes.

The new coordinates (R'S'T') are

R'(-2×2, 3×2) = (-4. 6)

S'(4×2, 4×2) = (8, 8)

T'(2×2, -2×2) = (4, -4)

Therefore, the
