Line ab is on the coordinate plane and does not pass through the origin. Line ab is dilated with a scale factor of 3 in a center of dilation of the origin to create line A' b'. If line ab was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3, how would your answer change?

If line ab is dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 in a center of dilation at the origin, the resulting line A' b' would be three times closer to the origin compared to the original line ab. This means that line A' b' would be located at a point that is one-third of the distance from the origin to line ab.
