Answer:

(2, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x - 4y = 2 → (1)

x + 2y = - 2 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = - 2 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = - 2 - 2y into (1)

- 3(- 2 - 2y) - 4y = 2 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6 + 6y - 4y = 2

2y + 6 = 2 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2y = - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 2 - 2(- 2) = - 2 + 4 = 2

solution is (2, - 2 )

What is the rule for finding the coordinates of an image reflected over the line y=-x

joja [24]

You can find the coordinates of any graph by using a coordinate table, which looks as so in the chart provided below.

What you do is you, put in the letter x and then put what y is equal to in the second box. You plug in any number for x and you solve in order to find the y coordinate. Once you do, for example for plugging in -1 into x you get 1. So your coordinate would be (-1,1).
