The sum of the inner angles of any triangle is always 180°, i.e. you have

In the particular case of an equilater triangle, all three angles are the same, so

and the expression becomes

which implies 
So, if you rotate the triangle with respect to its center by 60 degrees, the triangle will map into itself. In particular, if you want point A to be mapped into point B, you have to perform a counter clockwise rotation of 60 degrees with respect to the center of the triangle.
Of course, this is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 120 degrees.
Finally, both solutions admit periodicity: a rotation of 60+k360 degrees has the same effect of a rotation of 60 degrees, and the same goes for the 120 one (actually, this is obvisly true for any rotation!)
Answer:
A reflection across the y- axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a reflection in the y- axis
a point (x, y) → (-x, y)
A point in the second quadrant (- x, y)
Under reflection in the y- axis is (x, y) ← point in first quadrant

Answer:
axis of symmetry: x = 2
see below for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
You can complete the square to put the equation in vertex form.
y = (x^2 -4x +4) -1 -4
y = (x -2)^2 -5 . . . . . . vertex is (2, -5)
The equation of the axis of symmetry is the equation of the vertical line through the vertex:
x = 2 . . . . . axis of symmetry
__
Points on the graph are easily found by using integer values on either side of x=2. Points on one side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the other side of it.
Answer:
Distance of the trail from the start to the end is
miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from the start of a trail to the bird lookout point=
miles
Distance from the bird lookout point to the end of the trail =
miles
We want to find the difference of the trail from the start to the end, that is, how far is the starting point from the end point.
The distance between the start and end points

miles
