Explanation:

1. When a figure is dilated, a segment (side) of the pre-image that does not pass through the center of dilation will be parallel to its image. Concept 3: The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor

2. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor. If the scale factor is greater than 1 (k > 1), the image will be larger than the pre-image, making the segments (sides) of the image longer than the corresponding sides of its pre-image (an enlargement).
