Question

The image below shows two dilated figures with lines IJ and KL drawn. If the smaller figure is dilated using a scale factor of 2, what relationship do lines IJ and KL have? Would this relationship hold true for all dilations?

Answer 1

@iGreen, can you help me here?

Answer 2

IJ and KL will still be parallel

Answer 3

And that is true for all dilations..the slope will stay the same.

Answer 4

So should I write that?

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

Something similar to that.

Answer 7

"Points IJ and KL will still be parallel even after the smaller figure is dilated."
I think I should add a bit more, any ideas?

Answer 8

This will be true for all dilations.

Answer 9

"Points IJ and KL will still be parallel even after the smaller figure is dilated. This is also true for the other dilations."

Answer 10

Yep, looks good to me.

Answer 11

Alright, thnx so much!
I'll brb.
I might tag u in another question in about 10 mins :P
Thnx so much though! :D
