A. The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 5 and shifted 10 units up.

B. The graph of f(x) is horizontally compressed by a factor of 5 and
shifted 10 units to the left.

C. The graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 5 and
shifted 10 units up.

D. The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 5 and shifted 10 units to the left.

The answer would be A. Basically think of the stretching as multiplication. And the + or - after x refers to the y axis
