Would My answer be correct IF NOT please correct me.

Would my answer be correct?


Coordinate plane with triangle EFG with E at 0 comma 5, F at 1 comma 1, and G at negative 2 comma 1. Point H at 1 comma 1 is on segment GF, and points E and H are connected with a segment.


Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered at (0, 2) to create triangle E′F′G′. Which statement is true about the dilation?

 segment EG ≅ segment E prime G prime. 

The slope of segment EF is the same as the slope of segment E prime H prime.

 segment H prime F prime will overlap segment HF

. segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.

Please correct me as I truly am not sure because I choose option 4

Oscar C, did you try to draw the dilation on the same grid? If you drew the dilation on the same grid you could compare or even see which sides are parallel and have the same slope. The fact that you have a dilation says that the sides of EFG and E’F’G’ are not equal.
