Answer:

a = 1

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's make equations out of those given f(x)'s

-4 = -3a + b

2 = 3a + b

We can use elimination method to get rid of the a real quick

-4 = b

2 = b

Add those together

-2 = 2b

Divide both sides by 2

-2/2 = 2b/2

b = -1

Plug in the new b in one of the original equations; I'm gonna use the bottom one

2 = 3a - 1

+ 1        + 1

3 = 3a

3/3 = 3a/3

a = 1

Point (2, 4) is reflected across the x-axis. What are <br> the coordinates of its image?
klio [65]

Answer:

The coordinates of its image are (2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us revise the rules of reflection across the axes</em>

  • If the point (x, y) reflected across the x-axis, then its image is (x, -y), the rule of reflection is rx-axis (x, y) → (x, -y)
  • If the point (x, y) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is (-x, y), the rule of reflection is ry-axis (x, y) → (-x, y)

∵ The point (2, 4) is reflected across the x-axis

→ By using the first rule above rx-axis (x, y) → (x, -y)

∴ Change the sign of its y-coordinate

∴ Its image is (2, -4)

∴ The coordinates of its image are (2, -4)
