answer
D 2
factor
factor the equation into (x + a) and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8
the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2
find solutions
set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
add solutions
since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer
4 + (-2) = 2
The point L is plotted at A. (1, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
First, we plot the coordinates of both triangles.
The coordinates of the triangle EFG are as follows;
E = (-4, 4), F = (-4, -2), and G = (2, -2).
The coordinates of triangle JKL are;
J = (-2, 2), K = (-2, -1), and L = (x, y).
Step 2;
Next, we need to find the distances between at least two coordinates for both triangles.
The distances between vertical lines are found by calculating the difference in y values while for horizontal lines, the distances are found by calculating the difference between the x values.
The distance of EF
The distance of JK
The distance of FG
The distance of KL = (Scale factor)(the distance of FG),
The distance of KL
Step 3;
So the point L is 3 points away from point k on the x axis.
(x, y) = (-2+3, 1) = (1, -1).
So point L is plotted at option A. (1, -1).
