Answer:


A'(3,6)

Explanation:

The given coordinate is
A(2,4).

It's important to know that a dilation implies a bigger figure than the original. In this case, we have a factor of dilation of 1.5, which means each coordinate must be multiplied by it.

So, using the factor of dilation, we have


A(2,4) \implies A'(3,6)

Because
2 * 1.5 = 3 and
4 * 1.5 = 6

Therefore, the right answer is
A'(3,6)
