Answer:

1, 2

Explanation:

When dealing with 1/4 scale factor, you just divide each point applicable by 4. Therefore:

(4, 8) > (1, 2)

Answer:

B' (1, 2 )

Explanation:

Since the centre of dilatation is the origin then multiply the coordinates of B by the scale factor.

B (4, 8 ) → B' (4 ×
(1)/(4) , 8 ×
(1)/(4) ) → B' (1, 2 )
