To determine which statement proves that the dilation of triangle \( \Delta XYZ \) does not pass through the center of dilation, we need to look for a response that indicates the relationship between the two triangles and the center of dilation based on their coordinates or slopes.
The correct choice is:
XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and X′Y′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ both have an undefined slope with a center of dilation at (0,0). This proves that the lines are parallel and that the dilation does not pass through the center of dilation.
This option effectively demonstrates that if the segments are parallel and do not intersect at the center of dilation, it indicates that the dilation does not pass through that point.
