\text{(}-25,5)

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

when you have a coordinate (x,y) and you want to get the image after a dilationi, make


\text{new image=(coordinate)}\cdot factor

then

let

coordinate=(-5,1)

dilation scale=5

now, replace


\begin{gathered} \text{new image=(coordinate)}\cdot factor \\ \text{new image=(-5,1)}\cdot5 \\ \text{new image=(}-25,5) \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
