Answer:

P' ( - 3 , - 8 )    Q' ( - 6 , 4 )      R' ( 1 , - 1 )  

Step-by-step explanation:

- The reflection of any point ( x , y ) in a cartesian coordinate system can be determined by the units of y. The number of units of y above or below the x-axis must be determined.

- If the point ( x , y ) lies y units above the x-axis then its reflection in X-axis is y units below the x-axis while the x-coordinate remains the same. Similarly, If the point ( x , y ) lies y units below the x-axis then its reflection in X-axis is y units above the x-axis while the x-coordinate remains the same.  

- We have the following vertices of the triangle:

                       P ( -3 , 8 )      Q ( -6 , -4 )       R ( 1 , 1 )

We see that point P lies y = 8 units then its reflection in X-axis is 8 units below the x-axis i.e y = -8 while x remains the same at x = -3. So the reflected point P' is:

                                            P' ( - 3 , - 8 )

We see that point Q lies 4 units below x-axis y = -4 then its reflection in X-axis is 4 units above the x-axis i.e y = +4 while x remains the same at x = -6. So the reflected point Q' is:

                                            Q' ( - 6 , 4 )

We see that point R lies y = 1 units then its reflection in X-axis is 1 units below the x-axis i.e y = -1 while x remains the same at x = 1. So the reflected point R' is:

                                            R' ( 1 , - 1 )

- The the vertices of the reflected image are:

                      P' ( - 3 , - 8 )    Q' ( - 6 , 4 )      R' ( 1 , - 1 )

Which ratio is higher 15:20 or 12:16. for 35 points
Margarita [4]

To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = \frac{15}{20}, and

12:16 = \frac{12}{16}

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}.

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}. Since \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4}, these ratios are the same.
