I guess you are asking to find the sum of the first 8 terms. If so, then:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ is the 1st term,  r=common ratio and n=number of terms:
the 1st term a₁ =3
common ratio r = - 2 (since -6/3 = - 2, and 12/-6 = - 2, etc.)

Sum = 3[(1- (-2)⁸]/(1-2) = 3(1- 256)/(1/2)
Sum = -1530

Nancy has to find the coordinates of the reflection of the point across the y-axis. How can she find the coordinates of the new
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: (x, y) transforms into (-x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we do a reflection over a given axis, the distance between the initial point to the axis must be the same as the distance of the reflected point to the axis.

So if we do a reflection over the y-axis, then the value of y must be fixed.

So if we start with the point (x, y), the only other point that is at the same distance from the y-axis is the point (-x, y)

So the rule is, the y value remains equal and the x changes of sign.
