A:
Answer: The slope of A'B' is 3.Step-by-step explanation:We know that when a geometric figure is dilated by a scale factor (k) then the corresponding sides ( of pre-image and the image ) are parallel.Given : AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form A'B'. Point  which lies on AB is the center of dilation. Here, AB is corresponding side to A'B'.⇒ Slope of AB= Slop of A'B'Also, it is given that :  The slope of AB is 3.⇒ Slop of A'B' =3Therefore , the correct answer is : The slope of A'B' is 3.
