Answer:

line c

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

m----> the distance from P to the dilated line

we have


z=(2)/(3)


(2)/(3)=(m)/((4+2+2+2+2))\\ \\m=12*2/3\\ m=8\ units

The dilated line at
8 units of P is the line c
