Answer:

The coordinates of B' are (-3, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 90 degrees rotated, the coordinate numbers switch and one is multiplied by -1, when clockwise it's the 2nd one, and when counterclockwise, it's the 1st.

I need help with number 9

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can safely assume we are dealing with an arithmetic scale because the type of scale isn't mentioned anywhere. The more right a point is on the scale, the higher its value is. We are given two points of the scale: 3 and 4. Because the scale is arithmetic, we know that 3.8 must lie on 4/5s of the length between 3 and 4 to the right of 3, which is exactly where point D is.

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (−1,1) and (7,−5)

icang [17]

The equation is $y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

So, the midpoint will be $(\frac{-1+7}{2} , \frac{1-5}{2} )\\\\$

= $(3,-2)$

It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope is $\frac{-5-1}{7+1}$ = $-\frac{2}{3}$

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$

To write an equation, substitute the values in y = mx + c

WHere,

y = -1

x = 3

m = 3/2

Solving for c:

$-1 = \frac{3}{2} X 3 + c\\\\-1 = \frac{9}{2}+c\\ \\c = \frac{-2-9}{2} \\\\c = \frac{-11}{2}$

Thus, the equation becomes:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

Leah's age is twice her cow old are Leah and her cousin?usin's age. If they add their ages together they get 36. How old are Lea

nignag [31]

Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3

So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
