Explanation:

Step1: Connect corresponding points

Draw lines connecting each vertex of the original figure to its corresponding vertex on the dilated figure. For example, connect the top-right vertex of the smaller square to the top-right vertex of the larger square, and repeat for all 4 vertices.

Step2: Find intersection of lines

Locate the point where all these connecting lines intersect. This intersection point is the center of dilation.
From the grid, the lines intersect at the point $(-2, 0)$.

Answer:

$(-2, 0)$
