Line AB is on the coordinate plane and does not pass through the origin. Line AB IS DILATED WITH A SCALE FACTOR OF 3 and a center of dilation at the origin to create line A’B’. Describe the effects of dilation on line AB. If line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 how would your answer change
When line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3 and a center of dilation at the origin, line A’B’ will be three times longer than line AB. The angle between line AB and the x-axis will remain the same, but line A’B’ will have a steeper slope.
If line AB were dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 and a center of dilation at the origin, line A’B’ would be one-third of the length of line AB. The angle between line AB and the x-axis would remain the same, but line A’B’ would have a less steep slope compared to line AB.
