Final answer:

To find the coordinates of point X after dilating figure ABC using a scale factor of 5/2, we multiply the coordinates of point A by the scale factor. The coordinates of point X are (0, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To dilate a figure using a scale factor, we multiply the coordinates of the original figure by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 5/2.

The coordinates of point X can be found by multiplying the coordinates of point A (0,0) by the scale factor:

X = (0 * 5/2, 0 * 5/2) = (0, 0).
