Answer:
B. (-3, -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Anytime you rotate a number 180° about the origin, the numbers in the coordinates become their opposites.
-3 is the opposite of 3 and -7 is the opposite of 7.
Therefore, your new coordinates are (-3, -7)
(x,y) becomes (-x,-y)
No because 7/9= 0.777777777789 and 8/9= 0.888888888888889
"Sum" tells us it's an addition problem:
One term is 12 and the other is 9/x
SO
The expression is:
12+9/x
Substitute 4 for y. Then -3x^2 + 16 = 52.
Solve for x. Subtract 16 from both sides, obtaining -3x^2 = 36.
Divide both sides by -3, obtaining x^2 = -12. This last result makes no sense, as no square of a real number could be negative. Probably this is where you're ":getting a negative answer."
If imaginary answers were allowed, then x = i*√12 = i*2√3 or x = -i*2√3.
x =
