The image of (-5, 5) after a dilation by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin is (-20, 20).

To determine the image of (-5, 5) after a dilation by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin, we can multiply each coordinate of the original point by the scale factor.

Original coordinates: (-5, 5)

Scale factor: 4

Dilated coordinates:

x-coordinate: (-5) * 4 = -20

y-coordinate: 5 * 4 = 20

Therefore, the image of (-5, 5) after a dilation by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin is (-20, 20).

Complete question:

What is the image of (-5,5 ) after a dilation by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin?
