Triangle ABC has coordinates of A(-8, -8), B(4, -2), and C(2, 2). What are the coordinates of its image after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5?

Explanation:
#"let A', B' and C' represent the image of A, B and C"#
#rArrvec(OA')=color(red)(1.5)vec(OA)#
#color(white)(rArrvec(OA'))=1.5((-8),(-8))=((-12),(-12))#
#rArrA'(-12,-12)#
#rArrvec(OB')=color(red)(1.5)vec(OB)#
#color(white)(rArrvec(OB'))=1.5((4),(-2))=((6),(-3))#
#rArrB'(6,-3)#
#rArrvec(OC')=color(red)(1.5)vec(OC)#
#color(white)(rArrvec(OC'))=1.5((2),(2))=((3),(3))#
#rArrC'(3,3)#
see explanation.
Explanation:
A dilation that creates a larger image is called an enlargement (scale factor
A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction (
After a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of
