Answer:
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
Example:
= 8 × 8 = 64
P would then equal (-4,7) after the reflection
Don’t let R confuse you as it stands for Reflection. In this question you want to do a reflection across the y-axis.
The formula for reflection across the y-axis is (-x,y). In meaning as you cross the y-axis you y-value will always stay the same while your x-value with the opposite of what it is currently.
With that being said you want to plug in your values from point P to the formula which will leave you with (-4,7)
6x - 5 = 3x + 1
-3x -3x
————————
3x - 5 = 1
+ 5 + 5
————————
3x = 6
—— —
3 3
x = 2

Check
6(2) - 5 = 3(2) + 1
12 - 5 = 6 + 1
✔️
7 = 7
The midpoint would be (13/2 , 4)
