Suppose we apply a dilation by a factor of 3, centered at the point P to the figure below.
Tessa says the relationship between segment AC and segment A’C’ is that they are parallel.
Â
DJ says the line segments fall on the same line.
Â
Who is correct and why?
A. DJ because the line segment does pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image falls on the same line as the pre-image.
B.Tessa because the line segment does not pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image is parallel to the pre-image.
C. DJ because the line segment does not pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image falls on the same line as the pre-image.
D. Tessa because the line segment does pass through the center of dilation and therefore its image is parallel to the pre-image.
