Option: D is the correct answer.
D. The slope of is 3, and passes through O.
It is given that:
AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form AB .
Also, the line AB pass through the origin.
So, if AB pass through (0,0) and some point (x,y) then the slope of line AB is:
[tex]Slope=\dfrac{y-0}{x-0}\\\\i.e.\\\\Slope=\dfrac{y}{x}=3[/tex]
( Since, it is given the slope of AB is 3 )
Now , if AB is dilated to A'B' by a scale factor of 3 then
(0,0) → (0,0)
and
(x,y) → (3x,3y)
i.e. (0,0) and (3x,3y) will lie on A'B'.
Hence, the slope of line A'B' is given by:
[tex]Slope=\dfrac{3y-0}{3x-0}\\\\i.e.\\\\Slope=\dfrac{3y}{3x}\\\\i.e.\\\\Slope=\dfrac{y}{x}=3[/tex]
Hence, both have the same slope.
The answer is : Option: D
