Answer: A) (-2, 4), (6,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point (x,y) is dilated by a scale factor of k , then the new points is given by (kx,ky).

Given: The line segment AB with endpoints A(-3, 6) and B(9, 12) is dilated with a scale factor [tex]\dfrac23[/tex] about the origin.

Let A' and B' b the endpoints of the dilated line segment.

Then, [tex]A'(\dfrac{2}{3}(-3), \dfrac23(6))=A'(-2,4)[/tex]

[tex]B'(\dfrac{2}{3}(9), \dfrac23(12))=B'(6,8)[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is A) (-2, 4), (6,8)
