X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.

Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Which sequence of transformations produces R’S’T’ from RST?
inn [45]

Answer:

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of ΔRST are R(0, 0), S(-2, 3), and T(-3, 1)

The vertices of triangle ΔR'S'T' are (2, 0), (0, -3), (-1, -1)

The points are plotted with the aid of MS Excel, and by observation, we have that the image of ΔRST is located on the other side of the x-axis with each coordinate on ΔR'S'T' shifted 2 units to the right of ΔRST

A translation of ΔRST 2 units right gives;

(0 + 2, 0) = (2, 0), (-2 + 2, 3) = (0, 3), and (-3 + 2, 1) = (-1, 1), to give;

(2, 0), (0, 3), and (-1, 1)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the x-axis gives (x, -y)

A reflection of the above points across the x-axis gives;

(2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (0, -3), and (-1, 1)  reflected about x-axis → (-1, -1), which are the points of ΔR'S'T'

Therefore, the sequence of transformations that produces R'S'T' from RST are;

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis
