Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the dilation?

E(0,5) F(1,1) G(-2,1) H(0,1)

a) segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.

b)The slope of segment EF is the same as the slope of segment E prime H prime.

c) segment E prime G prime will overlap segment EG. segment

d) EH ≅ segment E prime H prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

∆EFG = Original image

∆EFG is dilated to give ∆E'F'G'

∆E'F'G' = New image

Scale factor = 3

Center of dilation = (0,1) = H(0,1)

Coordinates ∆EFG : E(0,5) F(1,1) G(-2,1)

To determine the statement that is true about the dilation from the options,

First we would make a diagram on the coordinates of ∆EFG and center of dilation (H).

Find attached the diagram.

Length GF = 3unit

Length G'F' = 3×scale factor = 9unit

Length EH = 4unit

Length E'H' = 4×scale factor = 12unit

Then we would move 3units to the left on same line from G to get the coordinate of G'(mark the point).

Also move 3units to the right on same line from F to get the coordinate of F'(mark the point).

Both of these give length of G'F' = 9unit

Now move 8units to the top from E to get the coordinate of E'(mark the point).

From this you get length E'H' = 12unit

Draw lines connecting the three points to get ∆E'F'G'

See diagram for better understanding

From the diagram, EH and E'H' both pass through (0,1). The other options are wrong.

Therefore, Segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation (A)
