5 0

= -1/2- (-2/5)
= -1/2 + 2/5
find common denominator (2 goes in 10 five times; 5 goes in 10 twice)
= -(5*1)/10 + (2*2)/10
= -5/10 + 4/10
= -1/10

Hope this helps! :)

-1/2 - (-2/5)

When you subtract a negative number, you add that number

-1/2 + 2/5

Now we need to find a common denominator

-1/2 x 5/5 = -5/10
2/5 x 2/2 = 4/10

-5/10 + 4/10 = -1/10

The answer is -1/10

-1/2 -(-2/5) = -1/10

If the points at (-4, 3) and (2, 3) are reflected over the x-axis to create two new points, what shape can be formed by the four

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^{2}$ , a reflection over the x-axis consists in the following operation:

$(a,b) \rightarrow (a,-b)$

If we know that $X = (-4,3)$ and $Y = (2, 3)$ , then the points translated over the x-axis are $X' = (-4, -3)$ and $Y' = (2,-3)$ , respectively. The most precise description of the shape is a rectangle for the following facts:
