Points A and B are at (3 ,7 )(3,7) and (4 ,2 )(4,2), respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by pi π and dilated about point C by a factor of 2 2. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

Explanation:
"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "piunder a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of π
• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,-y)∙ a point (x,y)→(−x,−y)
rArrA(3,7)toA'(-3,-7)" where A' is the image of A"
rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(2)vec(CA')
rArrulb-ulc=2(ula'-ulc)
rArrulb-ulc=2ula'-2ulc
rArrulc=2ula'-ulb
color(white)(rArrulc)=2((-3),(-7))-((4),(2))
color(white)(rArrulc)=((-6),(-14))-((4),(2))=((-10),(-16))
rArrC=(-10,-16)
