Final answer:

To dilate the points A(-1, 0), M(1, 1), and B(1, 0) by a factor of 4.5, each coordinate is multiplied by 4.5 resulting in A'(-4.5, 0), M'(4.5, 4.5), and B'(4.5, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dilation of points with a factor of 4.5, you need to multiply each coordinate value of the points by the dilation factor. Let's do this for each point A(-1, 0), M(1, 1), and B(1, 0).

  • Point A after dilation: A'(-1 × 4.5, 0 × 4.5) = A'(-4.5, 0)
  • Point M after dilation: M'(1 × 4.5, 1 × 4.5) = M'(4.5, 4.5)
  • Point B after dilation: B'(1 × 4.5, 0 × 4.5) = B'(4.5, 0)

Now, the new coordinates after applying a dilation of 4.5 are A'(-4.5, 0), M'(4.5, 4.5), and B'(4.5, 0).
