3 A quadrilateral has vertices (-4,-4), (-6, 4), (6,8), and (10, 2). What are
the coordinates of the vertices of the image after a dilation with the
origin as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 3.5? *
O (-14, -14), (-21, 14), (21, 28), and (35, 7)
(-6, -6), (-9,6), (9, 12), and (15,3)
(-10, -10), (-15, 10), (15, 20), and (25,5)
(-12, -12),(-18, 12), (18, 24), and (30, 6)

Answer:

I'll do the dilation for the first point and you will see the answer (please verify the second point)

Explanation:

The dilation about the origin is straightforward, you just multiply the coordinates of each point by the scale factor.

so the dilated point for (-4,-4) is -4x3.5= -14 which is the same for the y coordinate.

so the dilated point for (-4,-4) is (-14, -14)

Please verify by computing the dilated point for (-6,4)
