Answer:

The coordinates of point B' are (-3, 4) ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) reflected across the line x = a, then a is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment joining the point and its image

∵ The coordinates of point B are (5, 4)

∴ x = 5 and y = 4

∵ The point B is reflected over the line x = 1

→ From the rule above

∴ a = 1

∵ The rule of the midpoint is M = (\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2})

→ The point B is (x1, y1) and the point B' is (x2, y2)

∵ a is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of segment BB'

∴ a = \frac{x1+x2}{2}

∵ x1 = 5 and x2 = x

→ Substitute the value of a, x1 and x2 in the rule above

∴ 1 = \frac{5+x}{2}

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∵ 2 = 5 + x

→ Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2 - 5 = 5 - 5 + x

∴ -3 = x

∴ The x-coordinate of B' = -3

→ y-coordinate of B' = y-coordinate of B because the reflection across

   x = a does not change the y-coordinate

∴ y-coordinate of B' = 4

∴ The coordinates of point B' are (-3, 4)

Convert the Cartesian equation x - 5 = 0 to a polar equation.
mylen [45]

Answer:

  r = 5sec(θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual conversion is ...

  y = r·sin(θ)

  x = r·cos(θ)

__

The second of these can be used here.

  r·cos(θ) -5 = 0

  r·cos(θ) = 5

  r = 5/cos(θ) = 5sec(θ)

A suitable polar equation is ...

  r = 5sec(θ)
