Answer:
segment EH and segment E'H' both pass through the center of dilation.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, triangle EFG is shown.
H is located at (0, 1)
The center of dilation is located at (0, 2)
Then, H' is located at (0, 0), so that the distance between the center of dilation and H' is twice the distance between the center of dilation and H.
E is located at (0, 5)
Then, E' is located at (0, 8), so that the distance between the center of dilation and E' is twice the distance between the center of dilation and E.
