Help me with this question.

Ahas the coordinates (–4, 3) and b has the coordinates (4, 4). if do,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △abc, what is true about the image △a'b'c'? check all that apply. ab is parallel to a'b'. do,1/2(x, y) = the distance from a' to the origin is half the distance from a to the origin. the vertices of the image are farther from the origin than those of the pre-image. a'b' is greater than ab.

Which property was used to simplify the expression? 3c+9 +4c=3c+4c+9

Me with this assignment ! i only partially understand, so explain. also it's a work sample. at the championship bike race, steve and paula were fighting for first place. steve was 175 feet ahead of paula and had only 300 feet left to go. he was very tired and was going only 9 feet per second. paula was desperate to catch up and was going 15 feet per second. who won the bike race and by how far did she/he win?
