50 POINTS ASAP Polygon ABCD with vertices at A(−4, 6), B(−2, 2), C(4, −2), and D(4, 4) is dilated using a scale factor of five eighths to create polygon A′B′C′D′. If the dilation is centered at the origin, determine the vertices of polygon A′B′C′D′.

A′(5.8, −3), B′(1.6, −1.5), C′(−1.6, 3), D′(2.5, 3)
A′(−16, 24), B′(−8, 8), C′(16, −24), D′(16, 16)
A′(2.5, −3.75), B′(1.25, −1.25), C′(−2.5, 1.25), D′(−2.5, −2.5)
A′(−2.5, 3.75), B′(−1.25, 1.25), C′(2.5, −1.25), D′(2.5, 2.5)

Answer:

A′(−2.5, 3.75), B′(−1.25, 1.25), C′(2.5, −1.25), D′(2.5, 2.5)

Explanation:

in the described situation you only need to multiply the coordinates by the scale factor (in our case the given 5/8)

A (-4, 6) turns into

A' (-4×5/8, 6×5/8) = A' (-2.4, 3.75)

and therefore we know already here that all the other answer options are wrong.
