Answer:

B' has a coordinate pair of (-4, -1)

Explanation:

We are given with the vertices of the triangle with B(-8,-2)

Please remember the rule of dilation

If a point (x,y) dilated for the scale factor of 'k', we do get image as (kx,ky)

Using this concept, we know scale factor is
(1)/(2) , we could get image as
((1)/(2) (-8), (1)/(2) (-2))

Let's simplify it

We do get (-4,-1)
