Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation rule (origin center)

For a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor $k$, the image of a point $(x,y)$ is $(k \cdot x, k \cdot y)$.

Step2: Substitute values into the rule

Here, $(x,y)=(8,0)$ and $k=5$.
$x' = 5 \cdot 8 = 40$
$y' = 5 \cdot 0 = 0$

Answer:

$(40, 0)$
