Polygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 5.4 with point M as the centre of the dilation to form the image M′N′O′P′Q′. Compare NO and N'O' .

Answer:

  • does not pass
  • the same

Explanation:

Dilation by a factor of 5.4 about point M will move every point to 5.4 times its previous distance from point M. (Only point M stays in the same place.) If a line did not pass through point M before the dilation, it will not pass through point M after the dilation.

Segment N'O' does not pass through point M.

__

Dilation changes distances from the dilation center only. It does not change orientation or angles.

The slopes of NO and N'O' are the same.
