(line segment ) AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form(line segment )A'B' . Point O is the center of dilation, and point O lies on (line segment )AB . If the slope of (line segment) AB is 3, what can be said about line (line segment ) A'B' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it pass through or not

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

pass through what? and what can be said is that the line's length increases but the slope doesn't change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it pass through point 0

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

hat depends where the line segment lies on the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can u help me with that

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

is there a diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

it does not pass through point O because the line moves a dilation of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i was right and the slope is 3 correct

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay

OpenStudy (eli_moses):
