Question

Select the correct answer from each drop down menu. AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form A 1 B1. Point O, which lies on AB, is the center of dilation. The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O.

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope of A'B' = 3

A'B' passes through point O

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation with scale factor 3 gives the effect of stretching the line AB three times longer. As dilation does not change the direction of the line, the slope will stay the same. If point O lies on AB and is the center of dilation, then the point O must also lie on A'B'
