State the coordinate of the image of the given point B (-10,-6) under a dilation with center at the origin with the given scale factor k = 1/2.

• (5,3)
• (20,12)

The center of dilation is important because

• it's the location from which the dilation occurs.

• All of the corresponding points of the image and pre image are on the lines radiating from the Center of Dilation.

• it's a fixed point on the plane about which all points are expanded or contracted.

• All of the above
