Answer:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The suns gravity pulls on the planets, just like how Earths gravity pulls on objects when we drop them.

Reflect the point (2, -4) over the y-axis. Question 1 options: (2, 4) (-2, -4) (-4, 2) (-2, 4) Question 2 will mark the brainlie

o-na [289]

Answer:

The coordinates of the image point will be (-2,-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflection of the point (2,-4) over the y-axis is to be determined.

Now, as the reflecting mirror is the y-axis, then the y-coordinate of the reflecting point will not change.

So, the image point will have coordinates (h,-4).

Now, after the reflection over the y-axis, the x-coordinate of the image point will change the sign only compared to the original point.

Therefore, the coordinates of the image point will be (-2,-4). (Answer)
