Points A and B are at (9 ,7 )(9,7) and (8 ,6 )(8,6), 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)
A(9,7)toA'(-9,-7)" where A' is the image of A"
vec(CB)=color(red)(2)vec(CA')
ulb-ulc=2(ula'-ulc)
ulb-ulc=2ula'-2ulc
ulc=2ula'-ulb
color(white)(ulc)=2((-9),(-7))-((8),(6))
color(white)(ulc)=((-18),(-14))-((8),(6))=((-26),(-20))
rArrC=(-26,-20)
