This example demonstrates how to dilate line segments about a point other than the origin. Key mathematical concepts include line segment dilation and geometric transformations. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, and Dilate, the construction of the dilation effect is shown. Suitable for middle school and above students or teachers.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(yAxis) → A
  2. Segment(A, B) → f
  3. Dilate(A, 2, C) → A'
  4. Dilate(B, 2, C) → B'
  5. Segment(A', B') → f'
