Steve said it does not matter which term is first and which term is second in a ratio, since ratios are different than fractions
1 answer:
Ratio is a comparison of two values or two quantities.
Fraction is a another form of ratio.
The first term and the second term in the ratios are important.
It should not be changed.
The first quantity value is in first term and the second quantity value is in second term of the ratio.
Ratio and fractions are same.
Example:
The ratio of male to female in the school is 5 : 6.
5 represents male students and 6 represents female students.
The fraction form of the above ratio is

Answer:
If you have a general point (x, y), and you reflect it across the x-axis, the coordinates of the new point will be:
(x,-y)
So we only change the sign of the y-component.
Now, if we do a reflection across the x-axis of a whole figure, then we apply the reflection to all the points that make the figure.
Then, we could just apply the reflection to the vertices of the square, then graph the new vertices, and then connect them, that is equivalent to graph the image of the square after the reflection.
The original vertices are:
C = (-3, 7)
D = (0, 7)
E = (0, 10)
F = (-3, 10)
Now we apply the reflection, remember that this only changes the sign of the y-component, then the new vertices are:
C' = (-3, -7)
D' = (0, -7)
E' = (0, - 10)
F' = (0, - 10)
Now we need to graph these points and connect them to get the reflected figure, the image can be seen below.
