See below

Explanation:

Given #P# the dilation center, and #T# for instance, a vertice pertaining to the figure to be dilated and #lambda# the dilation factor, the ditated point #T_d# is located at

#T_d = P +lambda (T-P)#

Exemplifying: if #P = {-8,-6}#, #T = {-7,-4}#, #lambda = 3# then

#T_d = {-8,-6} + 3({-7,-4}-{-8,-6}) = {-5,0}#
