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..
When Line AB is dilated with a scale factor of 3 and a center of dilation at the origin, the resulting line A'B' will be three times as long as AB and will pass through the origin.
If Line AB was dilated with a scale factor of 13, the resulting line A'B' would be thirteen times as long as AB and would still pass through the origin. The larger scale factor would result in a more extreme dilation, making the line longer and more stretched out.
