Answer

Since the dilation is centered at the origin, the image of any point (x,y) after applying a dilation of scale factor "k" is the point (Kx, ky).

( 6, 12 ) becomes ( k * 6 , k * 12 )

Whatever your scale factor is, it is “k” in this equation. You did not give a scale factor in your question.
