See below

Explanation:

Given P the dilation center, and T for instance, a vertice pertaining to the figure to be dilated and lambda the dilation factor, the ditated point T_d is located at

T_d = P +lambda (T-P)

Exemplifying: if P = {-8,-6}, T = {-7,-4}, lambda = 3 then

T_d = {-8,-6} + 3({-7,-4}-{-8,-6}) = {-5,0}
