To determine whether the dilation passes through the center of dilation, we need to clarify a few key concepts.
1. **Dilation**: A transformation that alters the size of a figure while preserving its shape.
2. **Center of Dilation**: A fixed point in a plane about which all points are expanded or contracted.
If a line segment (such as \( \overline{AB} \)) is dilated from a center of dilation \( C \) to produce a new line segment (such as \( \overline{A'B'} \)), the following holds true:
- If the dilation is a reduction (scale factor less than 1), \( \overline{A'B'} \) does not pass through the center of dilation.
- If the dilation is an enlargement (scale factor greater than 1), \( \overline{A'B'} \) also does not pass through the center of dilation.
- If the line segment \( \overline{AB} \) is moved parallel to itself, then lines drawn from the center of dilation to points \( A \) and \( B \) do not create \( A' \) and \( B' \) as dilated points; hence, they do not pass through the center.
Considering these principles, the most accurate response would be:
**"A′B′ does not pass through the center of dilation because it is taken a line parallel to AB."**
So the best answer is:
- **A′B′ does not pass through the center of dilation because it is taken a line parallel to AB.**
