Question

ab is dilated by a scale factor of 4, with a center of dilation at a. if a is at point (2,4) and b is at point (5,3), where would a be located? (1 point)
(-0.5,1)
(8,16)
(2,4)
(20,12)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of dilation

When a point is the center of dilation, its image after dilation is the point itself.

Step2: Analyze the given problem

Here, point \(A\) is the center of dilation.

Answer:

\((2,4)\)
