Point A is located at (2, 3) on the coordinate plane. Point A is reflected over the x-axis to form point B and over the y-axis t
o form point C. Then, point A is reflected over both axes to form point D. The four points become vertices of a quadrilateral. What is the most precise name for the quadrilateral formed, and how do you know?
1 answer:
Answer:
Rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Well if point A is on (2,3) and you reflect it over the x axis point B would be located at (2,-3).
Then over the y axis point C would be located at (-2,-3), then reflecting that over the x axis point D is (-2,3)
<em><u>Points</u></em>
__________
A. (2,3)
B. (2,-3)
C. (-2,-3)
D. (-2,3)
__________
So graphing all these points we get a rectangle.
Because it has 4 sides that are 90 degrees and the sides opposite from each other are the same.

Assuming we're dealing with , which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
