The answer to the question is C. the simplest method to ever solve for a dilation is by multiplying the axis by the factor. like in your question, the X (7,2), should be multiplied by the scale factor 1/4. You, first of all, multiply the x-axis (7) by 1/4=7*1/4=7/4. then you multiply the y-axis (2) by 1/4=2*1/4=1/2. After multiplying, the X coordinate would be (7/4,1/2). then solve for the other coordinates and the answer would be C. This is the simplest way to solve for dilation.
