Identify the reflection of the figure with vertices E(8,4), F(-16,-8), and G(24,-16) across the y-axis.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When you reflect a point (x, y) in the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate gets the opposite sign. Thus,
E (8,4) ⟶ E' (-8,4)
F (-16,-8) ⟶ F' (16,-8)
G (24,-16) ⟶ G' (-24,-16)
The figure EFG and its reflection E'F'G' are shown in the diagram below.

<h2>Solving Equations</h2>
To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.
- If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
- If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
- Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.
We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:
Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:
Therefore. .
Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:
To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Therefore, .
