Which choice shows the coordinates of C’ if the trapezoid is reflected across the y-axis?
padilas [110]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

C is located at (5,3).

If you want to reflect this over the y-axis, you need to have the same distance that (5,3) is to the y-axis on both sides.

If you look at your graph you should see that (5,3) is 5 units a way from the y-axis so when you put it on the other side it should be 5 units a way also.

So the reflection will give you (-5,3)

Higher Order Thinking Lemmy walked 3 1/2 miles on Saturday and miles 4 3/4 on Sunday. Ronnie walked 5 3/8 miles on Saturday. Who
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Lemmy ; 2 7/8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance walked by Lemmy:

Saturday = 3 1/2 miles

Sunday = 4 3/4 miles

Total distance walked by Lemmy:

3 1/2 + 4 3/4

7/2 + 19/4

(14 + 19) / 4

33 / 4

= 8 1/4

Miles walked by Ronnie : 5 3/8

Lemmy walked farther because : 8 1/4 > 5 3/8

Number of distance walked farther than Ronnie :

8 1/4 - 5 3/8

33/4 - 43/8

(66 - 43) / 8

= 23/ 8

= 2 7/8 miles

**PLEASE HELP ASAP** Terri is analyzing a circle, y^2 + x^2 = 36, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
Alborosie
We analyze the linear function to find that it has equation y=x.  Drawing the line, we find that it will intersect the circle at negative and positive x-coordinates.

We can prove this by substituting y=x into the given equation:

x^2+x^2=36

2x^2=36

x^2 = 18

x = \pm 3\sqrt{2}

Hence, x = 3\sqrt{2} or -\sqrt{2}, so there are both positive and negative values for x.
