Answer:
D'E' be parallel to the original line
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\triangle ABC[/tex]
Line [tex]DE[/tex]
[tex]k = 3[/tex] -- scale factor
Required
The relationship between [tex]DE[/tex] and [tex]D'E'[/tex]
When [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] is dilated by a scale factor of 3, [tex]\triangle A'B'C'[/tex] will be three times as big as [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex].
Also:
Line [tex]D'E'[/tex] will be three times as long as [tex]DE[/tex]
Since no further transformation is done on [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and line [tex]DE[/tex], then [tex]D'E'[/tex] will be parallel to [tex]DE[/tex]
