Answer:

(2,-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

You see, when you reflect over something, one variable has to change. Our line of reflection is the x-axis, or y=0.

Here is a rule to help with these kinds of problems.

If you reflect over the x-axis, the x value is still the same, but the y value changes to be the inverse or opposite value. The opposite of positive is negative, so it will be -5.

For reflected over the y-axis, the y value stays the same, but the x value changes to be the inverse of the original y value.

Find an equation for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x+4 and goes through the point (-1,10)

Artemon [7]

The slope of the perpendicular line will be 2. Remember, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal.

So, we can make the equation $y=2x+b$ . We need to find b, and put b in.

To find b, put in the numbers of y and x.

$10=2(-1)+b$

Solve for b:

$10=-2+b\\b=10+2\\b=12$

Now replace b in the original equation with 12 and that will be the answer:

The answer is $y=2x+12$ .

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

The scale for a model that is 2 feet long is 561.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.

Part (A) What is the scale for a model that is 30 inches long?

1 feet = 12 inches.

First convert the length of USS enterprise in inches.

1×1,123 feet = 12×1,123 inches

1,123 feet = 13476 inches

Divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

$\frac{13476}{30}=449.2\ inches$

Hence, the scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

Part (B) What is the scale for a model that is 2 feet long?

Since, both the units are in feet, so simply divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

$\frac{1123}{2}=561.5\ feet$

Hence, the scale for a model that is 2 feet long is 561.5 feet.
