Answer:

The Cartesian Coordinate System is used to locate a point in space by giving its relative distance from perpendicular intersecting lines (Encyclopedia.com).  René Descartes was the inventor of the Cartesian coordinate system with the help of Pierre de Fermat.  Descartes used the letters from the beginning of alphabet (constants were identified by a, b, c and so forth) and the letters at the end of the alphabet (x, y, z) were used for variables.  These were expressed on the line as equations.  The system itself; first coordinate value (x-coordinate) describes the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the 2nd coordinate value (y-coordinate) locates the point of the vertical axis (y-axis).  The coordinating system helps duplicate geometric figures (i.e. triangle has coordinates of A (3,2), B (4,5), and C (-2,4) and with these coordinates, you are able to duplicate another.

Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator? A. There is more wind near the equator. B. There is less landmass
levacccp [35]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Hurricanes are fast moving wind storms that use heat and most air as their fuel. The air near the 'equator' is warm and moist causing more hurricanes.
  • The warm and moist air from the 'ocean surface' rises above and generates an "area of low pressure".
  • This causes air from nearby areas to move to the area of low pressure. This new air becomes moist and warm. This warm air when cools forms clouds.
  • This cloud systems and winds grows and spins fed by the "water evaporating" from the surface of the ocean. This in turn creates a storm called a hurricane.

Can yall pls help Asap!!
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

1. (x-4), (y+4)

2. In a transformation, the equation shows how much the original coordinate moves. In the equation above, the orignal coordinate would move to the left 4 places, and then up 4 places. This particular transformation is called a translation, as the shape is the same but only in a different spot.

3. Quadrilateral

4. The transformed polygon has the apostrophes after each letter, which means it is "prime" or not the original.

Explanation:

1. To write the equation, look at how the shape shifts. If the x coordinate moved 4 spaces to the left, then that means the equation is -4. Do the same for the y-coordinate, except keep in mind it is up and down instead of left or right.

2. The answer is self-explanatory.

3. A quadrilateral has 4 sides, and this can be applied to more specific shapes, such as a square or rectangle. Because this shape has no distinctive features, it is safest to call it a quadrilateral.

4. The answer is self-explanatory.
