1. **State the problem:** We need to find the images of the vertices of triangle $\triangle PQR$ under a dilation centered at $(0,0)$ with scale factor 2.
2. **Recall the dilation formula:** For a dilation centered at the origin, the image of a point $(x,y)$ is given by:
$$ (x', y') = (k \cdot x, k \cdot y) $$
where $k$ is the scale factor.
3. **Apply the dilation to each vertex:**
- For $P(2,2)$:
$$ P' = (2 \times 2, 2 \times 2) = (4,4) $$
- For $Q(2,6)$:
$$ Q' = (2 \times 2, 2 \times 6) = (4,12) $$
- For $R(5,2)$:
$$ R' = (2 \times 5, 2 \times 2) = (10,4) $$
4. **Interpretation:** The image triangle $\triangle P'Q'R'$ has vertices $P'(4,4)$, $Q'(4,12)$, and $R'(10,4)$.
5. **Answer the multiple choice:** The graph that shows $\triangle PQR$ and its image $\triangle P'Q'R'$ with these vertices is option A (and B, which is the same as A).
