Question

Look at lines PR and ST shown. Suppose a dilation with a scale factor of 2 and a center of dilation at point P is performed on line QR and ST.

Which statements are true about the resulting images Q'R' and S'T'? Select ALL that apply.

Answer 1

1. True (The center of dilation lies on the segment)

2. False (The center of dilation does not line on the segment)

3. False (The center of dilation lies on the segment)

4. True (Since the segments are not collinear as a result of the dilation, they are parallel)

5. True (Scale factor is 2)

6. False (Scale factor is 2)

7. True (by definition)

8. True (by definition)
