Answer:

<h3>             a₁ = -1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_8=a_1+d\cdot7\\\\a_{20}=a_1+d\cdot19\\\\a_{20}-a_8=a_1+19d-(a_1+7d)=12d\\\\56-20=2d\\\\12d=36\\\\d=3\\\\\\ a_1+3\cdot7=20\\\\a_1=20-21=-1

What is the equation for the line of reflection? On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Tr
elixir [45]

Answer:

The equation for the line of reflection will be x = y.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, triangle Δ ABC has points (6, 3.7), (5.4, 2), (1, 3). Triangle Δ A'B'C' has points (3.7, 6), (2, 5.4), (3, 1).

And we have to find the equation of the line of reflection of the points.

Now, it is clear from the coordinates of vertices of Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' that after reflection the x and y-values of the respective coordinates interchange and there is no change in signs.

Therefore, the equation for the line of reflection will be x = y. (Answer)
