Question Analysis

The main focus is to find the center of dilation by using the property that the lines connecting corresponding points of the pre - image and the dilated image intersect at the center of dilation.

Key Concept Explanation

In a dilation, the center of dilation is the fixed point around which the figure is expanded or contracted. Lines drawn through corresponding points of the pre - image and its dilated image will intersect at this center point.

Step - by - Step Solution

1. Draw a straight line through points and .

2. Draw another straight line through points and .

3. Observe the point where these two lines cross. By carefully examining the graph and using the grid to precisely locate the intersection, we find that the center of dilation is the point
