Explanation:

Person above me is right

Answer 2

A' will be located 10 units from point A along ray PA

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to 3

To obtain PA', multiply PA by the scale factor

so

PA'=PA*3

PA=5 units

substitute

PA'=(5)*3=15 units

AA'=PA'-PA=15-5=10 units

therefore

A' will be located 10 units from point A along ray PA
