Question

figure a is dilated to form figure a. plot a point at the center of dilation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation property

The center of dilation is the point from which distances are measured for dilation. Lines connecting corresponding points of the original and dilated figures pass through the center of dilation.

Step2: Draw lines between corresponding points

Draw lines connecting corresponding vertices of figure A and figure A'. The intersection of these lines is the center of dilation.

Step3: Identify the intersection point

The intersection of the lines drawn in Step 2 is the center of dilation. On a grid - based figure, we can visually identify this point.

Answer:

(You would need to actually plot the point on the given grid in the original image. If we assume a coordinate - like system on the grid, find the intersection of the lines connecting corresponding vertices of A and A' and mark that point as the center of dilation. Without specific grid coordinates given, we can't give an exact numerical answer for the point location, but the method is as described above.)
