Question 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 the dilation on Line AB . If line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 13 , how would your answer change?(4 points)
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 but will remain parallel to line AB. The distance from the origin to any point on line AB will be multiplied by 3 to determine the corresponding point on line A'B'.
If line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 13, the effects of the dilation would be more pronounced. Line A'B' would be thirteen times longer than line AB and would still remain parallel to it. The distances from the origin to points on line AB would be multiplied by 13 to determine the corresponding points on line A'B'.
