Answer: Dilations centered at the origin

Explanation:

You can dilate figures on the coordinate plane. The origin is often used as the center of dilation. If you are dilating a figure centered at the origin, you can multiply the coordinates of the points in the preimage by the scale factor to determine the points in the image.
