How do I solve this?
Isosceles trapezoid ABCD is shown below with a line EF drawn through its center. If the isosceles trapezoid is dilated using a scale factor of 1/2 and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will that line have with line EF in the drawing below?

Before dilation :
E = (-1.5, 0)
F = (1.5, 0)

After dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 :
E' = (-0.75, 0)
F' = (0.75, 0)

Since the y coordinates of image and preimage are both 0, they lie on x axis.
So EF and E'F' lie on the x axis. EF and E'F' are overlapping lines.

You need to rephrase it and add more words :)
