If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.

Thus, 

         -6 - (-8)         2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
         -7 - (-3)         -4

Then the following must be true:

             4-(-6)          10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
             c - (-7)       c + 7

Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27

a regular octagon is centered at the origin. give 2 transformations that will map the pre image onto itself
gogolik [260]
A regular octagon centered at the origin can have a few transformations that will yield the same image. Octagons have rotational symmetry of 45 degrees so rotating increments of 45 degrees will move the octagon's image to the pre-image. examples could be rotating 45 degrees and rotating 90 degrees
