Answer:

Q(-4,4)R' (4,4)S' (4,-4)T'(-4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral QRST

Dilated Factor = 2

Required

Find the coordinates of Q'R'S'T'

To do this, we first have to identify the coordinates of QRST

$Q = (-2,2)\\R = (2,2)\\S = (2,-2)\\T = (-2,-2)$

Being dilated by scale factor of 2 means we have to multiply each coordinates by 2; This is as shown below

Q'R'S'T' = 2 * QRST

Q' = 2 * (-2,2)
