The image of the point (4, 6) after the dilation is (8, 12)

How to determine the image point of after the dilation

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Point = (4, 6)

The transformation is given as

scale factor of 2 centered at the origin

This is represented as

(x, y) = (2x, 2y)

Substitute the known values into the equation

Image = (2 * 4, 2 * 6)

Evaluate

Image = (8, 12)

Hence, the image point of after the dilation is (8, 12)
