Answer:

The slope of AB is 3

The slope of A'B' is 3

A'B' passes through point O.

Explanation:

We have given:

AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form "AB" Point O, which lies on "AB" , is the center of dilation.

If you look at the attached picture you will observe that the dilation with scale factor 3 stretching the line AB three times longer. As the dilation does not change the direction of the line, the slope will stay same.

If point O lies on AB and is the center of dilation, then the point O must also lie on A'B'.

Thus the answers are:

The slope of AB is 3

The slope of A'B' is 3

A'B' passes through point O ....

"AB" is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form "AB" Point O, which-example-1
"AB" is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form "AB" Point O, which-example-2
