Answer:

900 g

Step-by-step explanation:

let e be extension and w be weight

given e varies directly as w then the equation relating them is

e = kw ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition w = 150 , e = 2.9 , then

2.9 = 150k ( divide both sides by 150 )

\frac{2.9}{150} = k , that is

k = \frac{29}{1500}

e = \frac{29}{1500} w ← equation of variation

when e = 17.4 , then

17.4 = \frac{29}{1500} w ( multiply both sides by 1500 )

26100 = 29w ( divide both sides by 29 )

900 = w

Triangle XYZ is reflected across the y-axis, and X = (4,-5). What are the coordinates of X’ ?
adelina 88 [10]
The correct answer is B.

You can come to this decision by picturing the initial point in your mind. Point X has a positive x-value and a negative y-value. This puts it in quadrant 2 on the coordinate plane. Now, if you flip that point over the y-axis, that makes its new location in quadrant three. In quadrant three, both the x and y coordinates are negative. So, the value wouldn’t change but both would become negatives.

I hope this helps. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

QTR is a 180 degree angle, so we can assume  PTR is 140 degrees because (x+28) is (12+28)= 40
