Suggest a coordinate plane located at W(-3,5) and Z(1,1) with WZ.WZ becomes WZ, where W'(-12,20) and Z'(4,4), under a dilation centered at the origin. What is this dilation's scale factor?

If the (x,y) point is dilated by a scale factor of k centered at the origin, then the image has (kx,ky) coordinates.
Given:
W(−3,5)
W′(−12,20)
Since −12 and 20 are both products of -3 and 5 multiplied by 4 the, then the scale factor has to be k=4.
To verify this, check the other points:
Z(1,1)
Z′(4,4)
Since 4 is 1 multiplied by 4, it's verified that the scale factor is k=4.
