segment A prime B prime has endpoints located at A' (0, 0) and B' (2, 0). It was dilated at a scale factor of one half from center (2, 0). Which statement describes the pre-image?

Question

Babyplier · Answer

here are the answer choices:
 segment AB is located at A (−2, 0) and B (2, 0) and is half the length of segment A prime B prime.
 segment AB is located at A (−2, 0) and B (2, 0) and is twice the length of segment A prime B prime.
 segment AB is located at A (−1, 0) and B (1, 0) and is half the length of segment A prime B prime.
 segment AB is located at A (−1, 0) and B (1, 0) and is twice the length of segment A prime B prime.

I am normally good with dilations, but I don't know how to figure this out

to Babyplier
You have segment endpoints at (0,0) and (2,0). If you dilate this from the point (2,0) by a half scale then you would have an endpoint at 1,0) and (2,0). This doesn't match any of your answer choices so are you sure you typed your question correctly?
