\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2} }

To begin, we can simplify the expression's denominator by finding a common denominator between the denominators of the fractions in the denominator.  To make them compatible, we can convert \frac{5}{2} into \frac{10}{4}:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2}( \frac{2}{2}) } = \frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} }

Next, we can simplify:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} } = \frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}

Finally, to cancel the denominator within the denominator, we can multiply the whole expression by \frac{4}{4}, or 1:

\frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}* \frac{4}{4} =  -\frac{16}{9}

The expression simplifies to -\frac{16}{9}, or -1 \frac{7}{9} as a mixed number.

The step by step simplification is shown below.

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{5}{2}}  \\  \\ 
= \frac{4}{ \frac{1-2(5)}{4}  }  \\  \\ 
= \frac{4}{ \frac{-9}{4} } \\  \\ 
=4* \frac{-4}{9}  \\  \\ 
= - \frac{16}{9}

Therefore the answer is -16/9

GEOMETRY HELP PLEASE!!! FAST!!!
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin  and a translation 2 units right

Explanation:

A rotation 90° counterclockwise maps each point (x, y) to (-y, x).  This means our points would be:

A(-4,3)→(-3, 4); B(-1,3)→(-3, -1); C(-2,1)→(-1, -2)

A translation 2 units right will add 2 units to the new x-coordinates; this gives us

(-3, 4)→(-1, 4); (-3, -1)→(-1, -1); and (-1, -2)→(1, -2)

These are the points in the image, so this is the correct set of transformations.
