Answer:
- The length of the image of the segment GH would be 5 units.
Explanation:
You can use the center of dilation as your origin of coordintes.
Thus, the point H would have coordinates (0,0) and the point G (-1,0).
A dilation multiplies the coordinates by the scale factor. Hence:
- H = (0,0) → H' = 5 × (0,0) = (0,0)
- G = (-1,0) → G] = 5 × (-1, 0) = (-5, 0)
Thus, the length of the image of segment GH would be the distance from 0 to -5 in a number line, which is 5.
