Mathematics

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure into two parts such that each part is the mirror image of the other. In other words, if we flip one side of the figure over the line of symmetry, it should match up <em>exactly</em> with the other side.

Let's look at a 2 examples.

In the first image provided, notice that if we flip the left side of the figure over the right side, the two sides will not match up so this is not a line of symmetry.

In the second image, if we flip the left side of the line on to the right side, it matches up exactly so it's a line of symmetry.

Answer:

A line of symmetry is the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly.

1. whats the midpoint between (7,3) and (-3,-1)
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 1) , then

midpoint = ( \frac{7-3}{2}, \frac{3-1}{2} ) = ( \frac{4}{2}, \frac{2}{2} ) = (2, 1 )

a line is perpendicular to y=-2x+5 and intersects the point (-4,2). what is the equation of this perpendicular line?
german

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular to y = -2x + 5 then the new line has a slope of 1/2.

So solve for b: using y = mx + b

2 = 1/2(-4) + b

2 = -2 + b

4 = b

Put it all together

y = 1/2x + 4

Similar triangles are congruent.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion . In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. The triangles are congruent if, in addition to this, their corresponding sides are of equal length.
