Question 1117532: If Q(-3,4), R(-2,-1), T(3,1), W(3,5) is a quadrilateral and Q'(-27,36) is the image of Q under a dilation centered at the origin find W'

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I changed your question so that it makes sense. If point Q has the coordinates (-3, 4), then point Q always has the coordinates (-3, 4). if there is an image of Q under any sort of transformation, then that image must have a different name. So I made your image labels Q' and W'.
In general, if ) has an image under dilation about the origin, then the coordinates of that image must be ) , where  is some real number.
In this case:  , hence each of the coordinates of W' must be 9 times the coordinates of W. You can do your own arithmetic.
