6.6 Symmetries of Regular
Polygons
A Solidify Understanding Task
A line that reflects a figure onto itself is called a line of symmetry. A figure that can be carried onto
itself by a rotation is said to have rotational symmetry. A diagonal of a polygon is any line
segment that connects non-consecutive vertices of the polygon.
For each of the following regular polygons, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto
itself: (be as specific as possible in your descriptions, such as specifying the angle of rotation)
1. An equilateral triangle
2. A square
3. A regular pentagon
4. A regular hexagon

Answer:
D. (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations have different coefficients for x and y, so will have one solution. The solutions offered are easily tested in either equation.
Using (x, y) = (-2, -3):
x = y -1 ⇒ -2 = -3 -1 . . . . False
Using (x, y) = (-3, -2):
x = y -1 ⇒ -3 = -2 -1 . . . .True
2x = 3y ⇒ 2(-3) = 3(-2) . . . . True
The solution is (-3, -2).

If you'd like to solve the set of equations, substitution for x works nicely.
2(y -1) = 3y
2y -2 = 3y . . eliminate parentheses
-2 = y . . . . . . subtract 2y
x = -2 -1 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
First find the equation of y.
Find the slope m.
.
Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.
.
The equation of a line y is:
.
The perpendicular line 
is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:
.
The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:
.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
$2 per ride
Step-by-step explanation:
$32-$20=$12
McKenna rode 6 rides so $12 divided by 6 rides is $2 for every ride
Answer:
B. 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x + 42)° and (18x - 12)° are alternate interior angles. If line l is parallel to line m, therefore,
6x + 42 = 18x - 12
Solve for the value of x. Combine like terms.
6x - 18x = -42 - 12
-12x = -54
Divide both sides by -12
-12x/-12 = -54/-12
x = 4.5
Therefore, x = 4.5 would prove lines l and m are parallel to each other.
