Polygon ABCDE is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the center of dilation at the origin to create polygon A′B′C′D′E′. If the endpoints of BC¯¯¯¯¯ are B(3, 5) and C(5, 10), what is the slope of B'C'¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ?

If a Polygon is simply dilated, the slope of its lines should remain the same after as before the dilation
so you can just find the slope between the two given points ^_^
