Answer:

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.5 means -(3 + $\frac{1}{2}$ )

In other words, -3.5 = $-3\frac{1}{2}$

When we draw two numbers $-3\frac{1}{3}$ and $-3\frac{1}{2}$ on a number line, $-3\frac{1}{2}$ comes first from left to right.

We know that all the numbers on a number line from left to right are in increasing order.

Therefore, $-3\frac{1}{2}$ is smaller than $-3\frac{1}{3}$ .

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Lauren is not correct.

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function?

kramer

A function will not have any repeating x values....it can have repeating y values, but all the x values have to be different for it to be a function.

A is a function because all the x values are a different number
B is not a function because u have repeating x values...u have repeating 4's and repeating 9's

Triangle abc is located on a coordinate plane angle c is at (1,2) the triangle is rotated counter clockwise 90° about the origin

sertanlavr [38]

After rotating a point C 90° counterclockwise about the origin the coordinates of C' would be (-2, 1)

In this question, we have been given a triangle ABC.

A point C is at (1, 2)

The triangle is rotated counter clockwise 90° about the origin.

We need to find the coordinates of C' which is image of vertex C after rotation.

We know that, if we rotate a point 90° counterclockwise about the origin a point (x, y) becomes (-y, x).

Here C(1, 2) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

So, the coordinates of C' would be,
