[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][br][br][color=#980000]1) Show the image of line m under a dilation about point [i]A[/i] with scale factor k.[br]  it seems to be a line [br]2) What does the image of this line look like?  ([i]Be specific![/i])[br]a its a angel [br]3) Set the slider k = 5 to start.  Then move the slider slowly to the left.  Observe.[br]    What happens to the image of m as k approaches zero?  [br][br]4) What happens to the image of the line if k = 1?[br]5) What happens to the image of the line if k = 0?[br]6) What happens to the image of the line if k < 0?[/color][br][br]Change the locations of point [i]A[/i] and the original line [i]m[/i].  Repeat steps 1-5 again.  [br][br][color=#980000]6) Now, click the "Check This Out!" checkbox.  Interact with the new slider you see.  [br]    Carefully observe what happens here.  [/color][br][br][i][color=#1e84cc][b]Please answer the questions that appear below the applet as well !  [/b][/color][/i]
