Lines Mapping Corresponding Points in a Dilation

Lines Mapping Corresponding Points in a Dilation

If h is a dilation of centre O in the plane, and P is a point in the plane, a line mapping corresponding points in the dilation h is any line that passes through a point P and through its image h(P).

Property

The lines mapping corresponding points in the dilation with a centre O form a pencil of lines that intersect at O.
