Answer:
(4, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
A reflection across the y-axis means the point is equal but opposite distance from the y-axis. It begins at 4 units to the LEFT (negative) of the y-axis, so after the reflection, it should be 4 units the the RIGHT (positive) of the y-axis. This has no change on the y-value of the point, because no matter the y-value, the point will still be the same distance from the y-axis. Long story short, if you're reflecting across the y-axis, change the sign of the x-coordinate. If you're reflecting across the x- axis, change the sign of the y-coordinate. That's why the answer is (4, -6).
One whole jar= 3/3 or 1
Set up a ratio comparing the two sets of measurements.
2 2/4 ounces of peanuts is to 2/3 of a jar as x ounces of peanuts is to 3/3 of a jar.
x= ounces in 1 whole jar
2 2/4 / 2/3= x / 3/3
cross multiply
(2 2/4 * 3/3)= (2/3 * x)
convert to improper fractions
10/4 * 3/3= 2/3x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(10*3)/(4*3)= 2/3x
30/12= 2/3x
divide both sides by 2/3
30/12 ÷ 2/3= x
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 2/3
30/12 * 3/2= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(30*3)/(12*2)= x
90/24= x
simplify by 6
15/4 or 3 3/4 ounces= x
ANSWER: 3 3/4 ounces can make a full jar.
Hope this helps! :)
The answer is B. Infinitely many solutions. <span />
In function notation (f(x)=mx+b) m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
In a straight horizontal line the slope is always 0. This cancels out the 'x' factor so you get f(x)=b.
To find b you simply look at where the line crosses the y-axis. in this case it crosses at 2.
When you plug in the y-intercept you get f(x)=2
