On a coordinate plane, Rectangles A B C D and E F G H are shown. The length of side A B is 6 units and the length of side B C is

3 units. The length of side E F is 8 units and the length of side F G is 4 units.
Is rectangle EFGH the result of a dilation of rectangle ABCD with a center of dilation at the origin? Why or why not?

Yes, because corresponding sides are parallel and have lengths in the ratio Four-thirds
Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar.
No, because the center of dilation is not at (0, 0).
No, because corresponding sides have different slopes.
