Which equation is a line of symmetry for the graph shown

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago

For a line, a symmetric line is any perpendicular line to it, because if you drop a perpendicular line, the line on one side is just a reflection of the other side.

so, in short, what is a likely equation of a line perpendicular to that one?

well, what's the slope of the line on the graph anyway?  well, notice, we have a point of (-3,-4), let's pick another point on the line to get its slope, hmmm say (0,8),

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad 
(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{8-(-4)}{0-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{8+4}{0+3}\implies \cfrac{12}{3}\implies 4

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{\stackrel{slope}{4\implies \cfrac{4}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{4}}}

so, a line whose slope is -1/4 is a likely line of symmetry for that line, since it'd be a perpendicular line to it, and since you know your slope-intercept forms, you know which one that is.

-7/8 - (-h) = -7/12<br> solve for h<br> pls show work
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The answer is 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a picture, but I'll try to walk through it here.

1) A negative and a negative makes a positive, so h becomes positive.

2) I added 7/8 to both sides, in order to "isolate the variable", which simply means to get h by itself, on one side of the equation (you'll likely hear it said both ways).

3) I multiplied 7/8 by 3/3, and multiplied -7/12 by 2/2. This is known as a common denominator, which in this case is 24. You can only add and subtract fractions that have a common denominator.

4) Multiply both of the fractions to get 21/24 + (-14/24). "Adding a negative" is the same thing as subtracting.

5) 21 - 14 = 7, and since our denominators are the same, the answer is 7/24.

You can confirm the answer by substituting, or "plugging" 7/24 into your original equation, in place of h.
