A sement has endpoints X (-6, 2) and Y (-1, -3). which are the coordinates if the image for a dilation with scale factor of 1.5 and center at the origin?

A) X' (-7.5, 3.5) and Y' (-2.5, -5.5)
B) X' (-4.5, 3.5) and Y' (0.5, -1.5)
C) X' (-3, 1) and Y' (-0.5, -1.5)
D) X' (-9, 3) and Y' (-1.5, -4.5)

Thank you!

multiply each coordinate by 1.5:

(-6*1.5, 2*1.5) (-1*1.5, -3*1.5)  simplify
