Find the coordinates of M' after a reflection across the line y= -1 and then across the line x= -2. Answer in form (a,b)
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: (-1,3)</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Point M is currently located at (-3, -5). Note the y coordinate is y = -5. The vertical distance from this y coordinate to y = -1 is 4 units. If we move another 4 units up from y = -1, we end up at y = 3.
What does this mean? It means that reflecting point M over the line y = -1 has it end up on (-3, 3), which I'll call point N. See the diagram below.
---------
Next we reflect over the line x = -2. The horizontal distance from x = -3 to x = -2 is one unit. So we move another unit to the right to end up at x = -1.
Therefore, reflecting (-3,3) over the line x = -2 will have the point land on (-1, 3)
---------
When we reflect over the line y = -1 first and then the line x = -2 second, we will have the point (-3, -5) move to (-3,3) and then to (-1,3) in that order.
Check out the diagram below.

For this case we have the following inequality:
3y - 2x> 8
The first thing we should do is to graph the function.
Then, see the set of points that are the solution of the inequality.
The solution set is given by the shaded region.
