When line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3 and a center of dilation at the origin to create line A′B′, the effect of the dilation is that line A′B′ is three times longer than line AB and it is in the same direction as line AB but passes through the origin.
If line AB were dilated with a scale factor of 1/3, the effect would be that line A′B′ is one third of the length of line AB and it is again in the same direction as line AB but passes through the origin.
Line AB is on the coordinate plane and does not pass through the origin. Line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3 and a center of dilation at the origin to create line A′B′ . Describe the effect of the dilation on line AB . In particular, make sure to describe the relative location and size of line A′B′ compared to line AB . If Line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 , how would your answer change?(4 points)
