6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m³ -216 = m³ - 6³

a³ - b³ = (a-b) (a² + ab + b²)

a = m and b = 6

m³ - 6³ = (m - 6)(m² + 6m + 6²)

= (m - 6)(m² + 6m + 36)

Triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC under a rotation about point Q.<br><br>

yan [13]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

True; about 120° CCW rotation about Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A'B'C' appears to be congruent to triangle ABC and about the same distance from point Q. The angle of rotation from ABC to A'B'C' appears to be about 120° counterclockwise when measured using a geometry program.

Triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC under rotation about 120° CCW about point Q.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If choices of rotation angle are ±135° or ±165°, the best choice would be ...

135°

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1, -1) and is parallel to

daser333 [38]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$2x+y-3=0\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-2} x+3 \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1}) \\\\\\ y+1=-2x+2\implies y=-2x+1$
