I believe it is "Because I don't drive." The person writing the sentence never started it off properly.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
<DCE = BCA (vertical angles are congruent)
DC corresponds to CB,
DC/CB = 15/5 = 3
EC corresponds to CA,
EC/CA = 12/4 = 3
Thus, two sides in ∆ABC are proportional to two corresponding sides in ∆EDC, and also, the included angle in ∆ABC and ∆EDC are congruent to each other. Therefore, based on the SAS Similarity Theorem, ∆ABC and ∆EDC are similar.
F(x) = -x²-17 is not a translation.
A translation of this graph would either have something added to/subtracted from the end of the function (the c value) or something added or subtracted to x before it is squared. f(x) = -x²-17 is a reflection, as the coefficient of x² is negative.
Every other choice has something either added to or subtracted from either x before it is squared or from the end.
