#color(brown)(A' (19,1), B' (7,18)#

#color(chocolate)("Length of the line segment after dilation "color(blue)(vec(A’B’) ~~ 21.6333#

#A(9, 3), B(5, 9), C(64, 4)#, dilation factor #3#

#A’ = 3a - 2c#

#A’((x),(y)) = 3 * ((9),(3)) - 2 * ((4),(4))#

#A’((x),(y)) = ((19),(1))#

#B’((x),(y)) = 3 * ((5),(9)) - 2 * ((4),(4))#

#B’((x),(y)) = ((7),(19))#

#color(brown)("Length of the line segment after dilation "#

#color(blue)(vec(A’B’) = sqrt((19- 7)^2 + (1- 19)^2) ~~ 21.6333#
