When Line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3 and a center of dilation at the origin to create Line A′B′ , Line AB will be stretched by a factor of 3 in every direction from the origin. This means that all points on the line will move further away from the origin.
If Line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 , the effects of the dilation would be the opposite. Line AB would be compressed by a factor of 1/3 in every direction from the origin. This means that all points on the line would move closer to 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 effects of the dilation on Line AB . If line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 , how would your answer change?

When Line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3, Line A'B' will be three times longer and further away from the origin.
If Line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3, Line A'B' would be one-third of the length and closer to the origin.
If Line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3, Line A'B' would be one-third of the length and closer to the origin.
