ANSWER

(-4, 2)

(Option D)

Step-by-step explanation

The triangle in the picture is dilated with scale factor 2.

This simply means that the size of the triangle was increased by 2.

To do this, first, let us write out the cordinates of the vertices of the original triangle:

M(-2, 1)

P(2, -2)

A(3, 5)

To dilate this, we will multiply the cordinates by 2, they become:

M' (-4, 2)

P' (4, -4)

A' (6, 10)

Therefore, the vertex M on the image after the dilation is (-4, 2).
