Answer:

[tex](-2,\, 0)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate a point [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] by a scale factor of [tex]r[/tex] with [tex](a,\, b)[/tex] as the center, and the resultant point would be at [tex](a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a))[/tex].

In this question:

Point to dilate: [tex](x,\, y) = (-8,\, 0)[/tex].

Scale factor: [tex]r = 0.25[/tex].

Center of dilation: [tex](a,\, b) = (0,\, 0)[/tex].

The resultant point would be:

[tex](0 + 0.25\, (-8 - 0),\, 0 + 0.25\, (0 - 0))[/tex], which simplifies to [tex](-2,\, 0)[/tex].
