Answer:
The answer is 3 units apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
The points are (1,9) and (4,9). The y-coordinates are the same. The x-coordinates are different. To find the difference between them, you must subtract them. 4-1=3, so the points are 3 units apart!
Answer:
variable, In algebra, a symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown numerical value in an equation. Commonly used variables include x and y (real-number unknowns), z (complex-number unknowns), t (time), r (radius), and s (arc length).
Answer: Multiplied by -1
Example:
Let's say we had the linear function y = 2x+5
Reflecting this over the y axis means we replace every x with -x and simplify
y = 2x+5 becomes y = 2(-x)+5 and that simplifies to y = -2x+5
The y intercept stays the same the whole time. This is because the y intercept is on the mirror line of the y axis. Stuff on the mirror line does not move.
Notice the jump from the old slope (2) to the new slope (-2) has us multiply by -1.
