Answer: Choice A. (-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation
D_(O,4)(x,y) means we apply the dilation to some point (x,y) to move it to
(4x,4y). Each coordinate has been multiplied by 4 which is the scale factor. This only works when we center the dilation around the origin. The "O" in
D_(O,4) refers to "origin". It's not the number zero.

So to go from preimage to image, we multiply by 4. To go in reverse, we divide by 4.

G' is at (-8,4). Divide each coordinate by 4 to get (-2,1) which is where point G is located.
