Answer:
d. x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a point on curve P and its (nearest) image on curve P'. The midpoint between those points is on the line of reflection. That line is the x-axis.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The curve is symmetrical about the y-axis, so each point on P also has an image point that is its reflection across the origin. The reflection of P could be across both the x- and y-axes, or (equivalently) across the origin. We don't know the meaning of "xy-axis", so we suspect that is a red herring. The best choice here is "x-axis."
(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.
B) the additive inverse of -3 is +3, so 17-(-3) = 20 is your answer.
Remember, two negatives = one positive, and so:
- (-3) = 3
17 + 3 = 20
Therefore, B is your answer
hope this helps
