Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Explanation:

Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis

The reflection is a transformation of a figure which represents a flip.

The rule for a reflection over the x -axis is given by

(x, y) \rightarrow(x,-y)

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the y-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis

The rule for a reflection over the y -axis is given by

(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, y)

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the x-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes

The rule for a reflection across both the axes is given by

(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, -y)

Hence, this represents the changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Thus, Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we know that the initial boiling point is 212 degrees F. For every 1 added to E, the boiling point decreases by 2. So, we havethe equation 212 - 2E or -2E + 212 = b or D).
