Answer:


Slope\ of\ A'B'= 3

Explanation:

Given


Slope\ of\ AB= 3

Required

Determine the slope of A'B'

Represent the coordinates of AB with (x,y), such that


AB = (x,y)

Since A'B' is 3 * AB, we have


A'B' = 3 * AB

Substitute (x,y) for AB


A'B' = 3 * (x,y)


A'B' = (3x,3y)

Since the slope of AB = 3, then the slope of A'B' is also equal to 3 because dilation through (0,0) does not have effect on the slope
