Answer:
The correct answer is:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for the amount of money he pays each month. This is represented by y in the equation. This means we want to isolate y in the equation:
x = t - yz
We first want to subtract t from each side:
x - t = t - yz - t
x - t = -yz
Now we want to cancel the negative sign and z. We can isolate both of these at the same time; divide both sides by -z:
\frac{x-t}{-z} = \frac{-yz}{-z} \\ \\\frac{x-t}{-z}=y
We can divide the numerator by the negative sign; this gives us
\frac{-x+t}{z}=y
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
B) A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection across the x-axis, followed by a translation 8 units right and 1 unit up.
Explanation:
The coordinates of the <u>points of the pre-image</u> are:
(3, 1)
(3, 4)
(5, 7)
(6, 5)
(6, 2)
The coordinates of the <u>points of the image</u> are:
(7,-2)
(4,-2)
(1,-4)
(3,-5)
(6,-5)
A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin negates the y-coordinate and switches it and the x-coordinate. Algebraically,
(x,y)→(-y,x).
When this is applied to our points, we get:
(3, 1)→(-1, 3)
(3, 4)→(-4, 3)
(5, 7)→(-7, 5)
(6, 5)→(-5, 6)
(6, 2)→(-2, 6)
A reflection across the x-axis negates the y-coordinate. Algebraically,
(x, y)→(x, -y).
Applying this to our new points, we have:
(-1, 3)→(-1, -3)
(-4, 3)→(-4, -3)
(-7, 5)→(-7, -5)
(-5, 6)→(-5, -6)
(-2, 6)→(-2, -6)
A translation 8 units right and 1 unit up adds 8 to the x-coordinate and 1 to the y-coordinate. Algebraically,
(x, y)→(x+8, y+1).
Applying this to our new points, we have:
(-1, -3)→(-1+8,-3+1) = (7, -2)
(-4, -3)→(-4+8,-3+1) = (4, -2)
(-7, -5)→(-7+8,-5+1) = (1, -4)
(-5, -6)→(-5+8,-6+1) = (3, -5)
(-2, -6)→(-2+8,-6+1) = (6, -5)
These match the coordinates of the image, so this is the correct series of transformations.
