Answer:

(5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule for reflection of a point along y-axis is:

y-coordinate of the point will stay the same
the sign of x-coordinate will be inverted i.e. positive sign will change to negative and vice versa.

i.e. the point (x, y) after reflection along y-axis will be (-x, y)

The given point is (-5, 4). Using the above rule for this point, the new point after reflection will be (5, 4) i.e same y-coordinate but x-coordinate with inverted sign.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. 2x + 4y = –6; (2,

Anna [14]

First we have to find the slope of the given line. We do that by puttiing the equation into slope-interept form. or solving it for y (same thing). 2x + 4y = -6. We move the 2x over by subtraction to get 4y = -2x - 6. Divide both sides by 4 to get the slope-intercept form we are seeking. $y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}$ . The slope that is perpendicular to that slope of -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal. Therefore, the perpendicular slope is a positive 2/1 or just 2. If this new line goes through the point (2, 5), it goes through the x value of 2 and the y value of 5. We will use those values along with the slope of 2 to solve for b in our slope-intercept equation. That looks like this: $5=2(2)+b$ and b = 1. That means our new equation, the one that is perpendicular to the given line, has an equation of y = 2x + 1.
