#"the new coordinates are :"#

#A'(2,-11)#
#B'(10,13)#
#C'(6,5)#

#"the original positions of the points A,B,C,D is shown in figure below"#

#"now dilate the point A(2,1) by 4X about the point D(2,5)"#

#"new location of A is A"'#

#A'(2,5-4*4)#

#A'(2,-11)#

#"dilate the point B(4,7) by 4X about D(2,5)"#

#"the new location of B(4,7) is "B'(2+2*4,5+2*4)#

#B'(10,13)#

#"dilate the point C(3,5) by 4X about D(2,5)"#

#"the new location of C is "C'#

#C'(2+1*4,5)#

#C'(6,5)#
