Dilating a Line

[color=#000000]In the applet below, line [i]m[/i] is about to be dilated about point [i]A.  [/i]The [i]scale factor[/i] of the dilation is given by the parameter [i]k[/i].  (See below.)  [i] [/i][/color]
1) What happens if the original line [i]m[/i] passes through point [i]A[/i]?  [br][br]    More specifically, what does the image of [i]m[/i] look like if [i]m[/i] passes through [i]A[/i]?  
[br]2) What happens if the original line [i]m[/i] does [b]not[/b] pass through [i]A?  [/i][br]    What does the image of [i]m[/i] look like if [i]m[/i] does [b]not[/b] pass through [i]A[/i]?
3) Complete the following statement by filling in each blank with an appropriate word[br][br]    to make a true statement:  [br][br]    [b]A dilation maps a ______[color=#0000ff](a)[/color]_____ not passing through the center of the[/b][br][b][/b][br]    [b]dilation to another _____[color=#0000ff](b)[/color]______ that is _________[color=#0000ff](c)[/color]_______ to the original[/b][br][b][/b][br]    [b]_____[color=#0000ff](d)[/color]______.  If, however, the original _____[color=#0000ff](e)[/color]______ passes through the [/b][br][b][/b][br]   [b]_____[color=#0000ff](f)[/color]______ of the dilation, the image of this line is the ______[color=#0000ff](g)[/color]______ as[/b][br][b][/b][br]   [b]the original _____[color=#0000ff](h)[/color]_____.  [/b][br][br][br]
