What happens to the sign or signs of the coordinates when you reflect a point?

elena55 [62]

Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Explanation:

Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis

The reflection is a transformation of a figure which represents a flip.

The rule for a reflection over the x -axis is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(x,-y)$

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the y-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis

The rule for a reflection over the y -axis is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, y)$

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the x-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes

The rule for a reflection across both the axes is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, -y)$

Hence, this represents the changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Thus, Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Evaluate and simplify the following complex fraction.:6/7 ÷ 3/11

inna [77]

Answer:

3 7/50

Step-by-step explanation:

so you need them to become common denominators

a common multiple they both have would be is 77

6/7 becomes 66/77 and 3/11 becomes 21/77

now we divide

keep the 66/77 as is and flip 21/77 (keep, change, flip)

so now our equation looks like this: 66/77 x 77/21

and your answer is 3.14

but as a fraction it is 157/50 and to simplified it would be 3 7/50 (mixed fraction)

Simplify 9 to the 2nd over 9 to the 7th.

Free_Kalibri [48]

9^2/9^7

when dividing powers, we subtract the exponents

9^(2-7)

9^ (-5)

a negative exponent flips from the numerator to the denominator

1/ 9^5

Will give brainliest.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

y = 3x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to start with a version of the point-slope form of the equation for a line. That is, for point (h, k) and slope m, ...

y = m(x -h) +k

For your m=3 and (h, k) = (3, 1), this equation becomes ...

y = 3(x -3) +1

Eliminating parentheses puts this in the form you desire:

y = 3x -8
