Which graph shows the result of dilating this figure by a factor of 4 about the origin? On a coordinate plane, rectangle A B C D

has points (negative 1, 1), (3, 1), (3, negative 1), (negative 1, negative 1). On a coordinate plane, rectangle A prime B prime C prime D prime has points (negative 4, 4), (12, 4), (12, negative 4), (negative 4, negative 4). On a coordinate plane, rectangle A prime B prime C prime D prime has points (negative 2, 2), (6, 2), (6, negative 2), (negative 2, negative 2). On a coordinate plane, rectangle A prime B prime C prime D prime has points (negative 0.25, 0.25), (0.75, 0.25), (0.75, negative 0.25). (negative 0.25, negative 0.25). On a coordinate plane, rectangle A prime B prime C prime D prime has points (negative 0.5, 0.5), (1.5, 0.5), (1.5, negative 0.5), (negative 0.5, negative 0.5).

Answer:

Second option: On a coordinate plane, rectangle A'B'C'D' prime has points $(-4,4),(12,4),(12,-4),(-4,-4)$

(See the graph attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is importnat to know that a Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the Image (The figure obtained after the transformation) has the same shape as the Pre-Image (which is the original figure before the transformation), but they have different sizes.

In this case, you know that the vertices of the rectangle ABCD ( The Pre-Image) are the following:

$A(-1,1)\\\\B(3,1)\\\\C(3,-1)\\\\D(-1,-1)$

Therefore, to find the vertices of the rectangle A'B'C'D' (The Image) that results of dilating the rectangle ABCD by a factor of 4 about the origin, you need to multiply the coordinates of each original vertex by 4. Then, you get:

$A'=((-1)(4),(1)(4))=(-4,4)\\\\B'=((3)(4),(1)(4))=(12,4)\\\\C'=((3)(4),(-1)(4))=(12,-4)\\\\D'=((-1)(4),(-1)(4))=(-4,-4)$
