Answer:

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope between the two given points

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

(-10,1),(5,-5)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-5-1}{5+10}

m=\frac{-6}{15}

Simplify

m=-\frac{2}{5}

step 2

Find the x-coordinate of another point

we have

(x,-3)

we know that

If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same

so

Find the slope between the points

(x,-3),(5,-5)

Remember that

m=-\frac{2}{5}

substitute in the formula

-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-5+3}{5-x}

-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5-x}

the denominators must be the same

5=5-x

x=0

therefore

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

What is the image of point (4, 5) after a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin?
andriy [413]
A <span>counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin is equivalent to a </span><span>clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin.

Given a point (4, 5), the x-value, i.e. 4 and the y-value, i.e. 5 are positive, hence the point is in the 1st quadrant of the xy-plane.

A clockwise rotation of </span><span>90º about the origin of a point in the first quadrant of the xy-plane will have its image in the fourth quadrant of the xy-plane. Thus the x-value of the image remains positive but the y-value of the image changes to negative.
Also the x-value and the y-value of the original figure is interchanged.
For example, given a point (a, b) in the first quadrant of the xy-plane, </span><span>a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin which is equivalent to a <span>clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin will result in an image with the coordinate of (b, -a)</span>

Therefore, a </span><span>counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin </span><span>of the point (4, 5) will result in an image with the coordinate of (5, -4)</span> (option C)

If a gardener make $60 a day working and has to pay $15 for each day that he does not show up and he only works a total of 20 da
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned by gardener for each day worked = $60

Amount paid by gardener for each day when absent = $15

Total number of days = 20

Let the total number of days when the gardener was working = x

Then he was absent for (20 - x) days.

Total amount earned during this period = $750

Then, \[60x - 15(20-x) = 750\]&#10;

=> \[60x + 15x - 300 = 750\]

=> \[75x = 1050\]

=> x = 14

So the gardener worked for 14 days out of 20.
