Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...

Notice a couple of patterns.
1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.
2. The coefficient of the middle term is either
. So what are <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>? <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.

The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30. The answer is choice A.

Answer: C (x, y) ➔ (0.375x, 0.375y)
I’m pretty sure it’s added, subtracted, added !
