a circle is graphed on a coordinate grid and tgen reflected across the y-axis. if the center of the original circle was located
1 answer:
Answer:
The new center is the point (-x, y)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes to its opposite (additive inverse).
See the attached image for an example.
The circle on the right has center (3, 1). When reflected across the y-axis, the reflected center is (-3, 1).

We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
