1. The problem states that a polygon with vertices at points $D(-10,-8)$, $G(-6,8)$, $F(8,8)$, and $E(5,-4)$ is dilated by a factor of $\frac{3}{4}$ centered at the origin.
2. The formula for dilation centered at the origin with scale factor $k$ is:
$$ (x', y') = (kx, ky) $$
This means each coordinate of the original point is multiplied by the scale factor.
3. Apply the dilation factor $\frac{3}{4}$ to each vertex:
- For $D(-10,-8)$:
$$ D' = \left(\frac{3}{4} \times -10, \frac{3}{4} \times -8\right) = \left(-\frac{30}{4}, -\frac{24}{4}\right) = (-7.5, -6) $$
- For $G(-6,8)$:
$$ G' = \left(\frac{3}{4} \times -6, \frac{3}{4} \times 8\right) = \left(-\frac{18}{4}, \frac{24}{4}\right) = (-4.5, 6) $$
- For $F(8,8)$:
$$ F' = \left(\frac{3}{4} \times 8, \frac{3}{4} \times 8\right) = \left(\frac{24}{4}, \frac{24}{4}\right) = (6, 6) $$
- For $E(5,-4)$:
$$ E' = \left(\frac{3}{4} \times 5, \frac{3}{4} \times -4\right) = \left(\frac{15}{4}, -3\right) = (3.75, -3) $$
4. The resulting polygon after dilation has vertices at $D'(-7.5,-6)$, $G'(-4.5,6)$, $F'(6,6)$, and $E'(3.75,-3)$.
5. This completes the dilation process by scaling all points towards the origin by $\frac{3}{4}$.
Final answer: The dilated polygon vertices are $D'(-7.5,-6)$, $G'(-4.5,6)$, $F'(6,6)$, and $E'(3.75,-3)$.
