AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form A′B'. Point O, which lies on AB, is the center of dilation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A′B′ is (1/3, -1/3, 3, -3, 9, -9) A'B' (passes or dose not pass) through point O.

u need help still?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill take a look and see if i can help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what r u trying to find out here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope of a'b' and if it passes or does not pass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

through O?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

point O*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a graph or is this it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dan815 could you plz help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry idk i would need a graph... sorry i couldnt help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw...

OpenStudy (rhystic):

so a dilation is just scaling since you don't have actual points but just have a slope and a scale factor of 3 you can just multiply the slope by 3 to get the slope of a'b' which gives 3*3 = 9. because the problem states a slope, if the dilation occurs at the

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bump

OpenStudy (rhystic):

whoops sorry. so the slope ends up being 9 like I said and because its a line dilation the point O will remain on the line. so itll pass through.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)
