Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

HF = 4x + 9

EF = 5x + 3

Since FG is perpendicular to EH, ∆EFG and ∆HFG are congruent to each other.

Thus:

HF = EF

4x + 9 = 5x + 3 (substitution)

Collect like terms

4x - 5x = -9 + 3

-x = -6

Divide both sides by -1

x = 6

Answer:

C) Rotation 90° CW about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation for rotation CW 90° is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

This is apparently the transformation that gets ...

A(1, 3) ⇒ A'(3, -1)
