Question

A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 8 to 0, both by 1-unit increments. Triangle upper X upper Y upper Z and triangle upper X prime upper Y prime upper Z prime are plotted.

Which statement proves that the dilation of ΔXYZ does not pass through the center of dilation?

XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has a length of 3 and X′Y′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has a length of 1, which proves that ΔXYZ is a dilation of ΔX′Y′Z′ by a scale factor of 3.
Modifying above upper X upper Y with bar has a length of 3 and Modifying above upper X prime upper Y prime with bar has a length of 1, which proves that triangle upper X upper Y upper Z is a dilation of triangle upper X prime upper Y prime upper Z prime by a scale factor of 3.

XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has a length of 3 and X′Y′¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has a length of 1, which proves that ΔX′Y′Z′ is a dilation of ΔXYZ by a scale factor of 13.
Modifying above upper X upper Y with bar has a length of 3 and Modifying above upper X prime upper Y prime with bar has a length of 1, which proves that triangle upper X prime upper Y prime upper Z prime is a dilation of triangle upper X upper Y upper Z by a scale factor of Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction .

X′(−3⋅13,−3⋅13)=X′(−1,−1), Y′(−3⋅13,−6⋅13)=Y′(−1,−2), Z′(−6⋅13,−3⋅13)=Z′(−2,−1).
upper X prime left parenthesis negative 3 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction comma negative 3 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction right parenthesis equals upper X prime left parenthesis negative 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis , upper Y prime left parenthesis negative 3 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction comma negative 6 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction right parenthesis equals upper Y prime left parenthesis negative 1 comma negative 2 right parenthesis , upper Z prime left parenthesis negative 6 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction comma negative 3 times Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction right parenthesis equals upper Z prime left parenthesis negative 2 comma negative 1 right parenthesis .

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.
Modifying above upper X upper Y with bar and Modifying above upper X prime upper Y prime with bar both have an undefined slope with a center of dilation at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis . This proves that the lines are parallel and that the dilation does not pass through the center of dilation.

Answer 1

The statement that proves that the dilation of triangle \( \Delta XYZ \) does not pass through the center of dilation 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 statement is relevant because, in a dilation, if the segments connect the pre-image and the image points through the center of dilation, they would not be parallel. Since both segments have an undefined slope (indicating they are vertical), they are parallel and therefore confirm that the dilation does not pass through the center of dilation.
