$color(brown)("Length of the line segment after dilation is "$

$color(indigo)(vec(A'B') = 14.42 " units"$

$A(4,3), B(2,6), " dilated by a factor of 4 about " C(3,3)$

$A'((x),(y)) = 4a - 3c = 4 ((4),(3)) - 3 ((3),(3)) = ((7),(3))$

$B'((x),(y)) = 4b - 3c = 4 ((2),(6)) - 3 ((3),(3)) = ((-1),(15))$

$color(brown)(vec(A'B') = sqrt((-1-7)^2 + (15-3)^2) = 14.42 " units"$

A line segment has endpoints at (4 ,3 )(4 ,3 ) and (2 ,6 )(2 ,6 ). The line segment is dilated by a factor of 4 4 around (3 ,3 )(3 ,3 ). What are the new endpoints and length of the line segment?
