1. **State the problem:**
We have a line segment \(\overline{AB}\) with endpoints \(A(1, 3)\) and \(B(5, 3)\).
A dilation centered at the origin with scale factor 4 is applied to this segment.
We need to find the coordinates of the dilated points \(A'\) and \(B'\).
2. **Formula for dilation centered at the origin:**
If a point \((x, y)\) is dilated by a scale factor \(k\) centered at the origin, the new coordinates \((x', y')\) are given by:
$$
(x', y') = (k \cdot x, k \cdot y)
$$
3. **Apply the formula to point \(A(1, 3)\):**
$$
A' = (4 \times 1, 4 \times 3) = (4, 12)
$$
4. **Apply the formula to point \(B(5, 3)\):**
$$
B' = (4 \times 5, 4 \times 3) = (20, 12)
$$
5. **Check possible coordinates:**
The possible coordinates given are \(\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4}\right), \left(\frac{5}{4}, \frac{3}{4}\right), (4, 12), (20, 12), (4, 3)\).
The dilated points \(A'\) and \(B'\) match \((4, 12)\) and \((20, 12)\) respectively.
**Final answer:**
$$
A' = (4, 12), \quad B' = (20, 12)
$$
