we can use a proportion

3/5=75/x

multiply cross so 75×5 and 3×X

375=3x

÷3. ÷3

x=125

Solve the following system by any method -8x-8y=0 -8x+2y=-20

iVinArrow [24]

$\fbox{Solution by using Matrix}$

$\text{Linear Equation} = -8x-8y=0 , -8x+2y=-20$

$\text{Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&2&-20\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Apply to Row2 : Row2 + Row1}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&-6&-20\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{ Simplify rows}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Note: The matrix is now in echelon form.}$ $\text{The steps below are for back substitution.}$

$\text{Apply to Row1 : Row1 + 8 Row2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&0&80/30\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{ Simplify rows}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&10/3\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]$

$\text{Therefore, the solution is}$

$x= \dfrac{10}{3} \ \text{and} \ \ y=\dfrac{10}{3}$

Point (-4,-8) Reflected across the x-axis

kkurt [141]

Answer:

(-4 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis is the horizontal line. In this case, if you are reflecting over the x-axis, you are flipping the sign of the y-coordinate.

Same with the y-axis. If you are reflecting over the y-axis, you are flipping the sign of the x-coordinate.

In this case, reflect across the x-axis. Flip the sign of the y: (x , y)

(-4 , -8) reflected over the x-axis is (-4 , 8).
