Find the coordinates of the reflection: B (5, 4) is reflected over the line x=1

Mathematics

zepelin [54]3 years ago

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)

Find the equation for the circle with a diameter whose endpoints are (-5, -3) and (3,2).
densk [106]

Answer:

  (x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter, so is ...

  (h, k) = ((-5, -3) +(3, 2))/2 = (-5+3, -3+2)/2 = (-1, -1/2)

The circle formula is then ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

  (x -(-1))^2 +(y -(-1/2))^2 = r^2

We can find r^2 by substituting one of the points for (x, y).

  (3 +1)^2 +(2 +1/2)^2 = r^2 = 16 +6.25 = 22.25

Then the circle equation is ...

  (x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25

According to Okun's law, if the unemployment rate goes from 5% to 3%, what will be the effect on the GDP?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

D. It will increase by 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

u_1 = 5\% --- initial rate

u_2 = 3\% --- final rate

Required

The effect on the GDP

To calculate this, we make use of:

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = u_1 - 2\triangle u

This gives:

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(5\% - 3\%)

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 2(2\%)

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 5\% - 4\%

\frac{\triangle Y}{Y} = 1\%

<em>This implies that the GDP will increase by 1%</em>

Can sb explain why there's letters in math...????
andriy [413]
They're called variables (this sounds like vary because the number that a letter could represent varies) so when i say 1 + x = 3 it is saying that they don't know the value of x yet but of course you can solve that by subtracting 1 from 3 which is 2
