A has the coordinates (–4, 3) and B has the coordinates (4, 4). If DO,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △ABC, what is true about the image △A'B'C'? Check all that apply.

A
AB is parallel to A'B'.
B
DO,1/2(x, y) =
Option B
C
The distance from A' to the origin is half the distance from A to the origin.
D
The vertices of the image are farther from the origin than those of the pre-image.
E
A'B' is greater than AB.

△RST is dilated with the rule DT,1/3 (x, y), where the center of dilation is T(3, –2).

Answers:
The distance between the x-coordinates of R and T is .:3
The distance between the y-coordinates of R and T is .:6
R' is from T, so the coordinates of R' are .:1 unit left, 2 units up
R' is from T, so the coordinates of R' are .:(2, 0)
