M = 8 + 1 / -2 - 4 = 9/-6 = 3/-2

y = 3/-2x + b
8 = 3/-2(-2) + b
8 = 3 + b
b = 5

Formula is y = -3/2x + 5

Answer:

B. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, dilation, rotation or translation.

If a point X(x,y) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new point is at X'(-x, -y).

If the square with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new points are at A'(0, 0), B'(0, -5), C'(-5, -5), D'(-5, 0)

A square has four equal sides. The distance between two points $X(x_1,y_1)\ and\ Y(x_2,y_2)$ is:
