Explanation:

Identify the effect of dilation on line segments

$$ \text{Dilation preserves the orientation and parallelism of lines.} $$

Determine the relationship between the slopes

$$ \overline{K'L'} \parallel \overline{KL} \implies \text{slope of } \overline{K'L'} = \text{slope of } \overline{KL} $$

Find the final slope value

$$ \text{slope of } \overline{K'L'} = -8 $$

Answer:

• (A) -8 (Correct answer)
• (B) -\frac{1}{8}
• (C) 8
• (D) \frac{1}{8}
