Points A and B are at (2 ,7 ) and (4 ,6 ), respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by pi and dilated about point C by a factor of 4 . If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

Explanation:
"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "pi
• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,-y)
rArrA(2,7)toA'(-2,-7)" where A' is the image of A"
rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(4)vec(CA')
rArrulb-ulc=4(ula'-ulc)
rArrulb-ulc=4ula'-4ulc
rArr3ulc=4ula'-ulb
color(white)(rArr3ulc)=4((-2),(-7))-((4),(6))
color(white)(rArr3ulc)=((-8),(-28))-((4),(6))=((-12),(-34))
rArrulc=1/3((-12),(-34))=((-4),(-34/3))
rArrC=(-4,-34/3)
