Kevin bought 3 pounds of tri-tip from b street butchers for $29.97 and arnold bought 4 pounds of tri-tip from mel"s meat market for $35.96.

kevin believes he got the better deal, but arnold believes he got the better deal.

who is correct?

Arnold

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare, you'd have to find out how much they paid for each pound of tri-tip. So, to do this, you would divide the total amount of money the spent on the pounds by the number of pounds they bought. So for Kevin, you'd divide 29.97 by 3 to get that Kevin paid $9.99 for each pound. For Arnold, you'd divide 35.96 by 4 to get that Arnold paid $8.99 for each pound. And 8.99 is less than 9.99, so Arnold was right.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

choose (5, 1.5) and (-1.5,-3.5)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 1.5 =3.5

-1.5 - (-3.5) = 2

3.5 + 2 =5.5

hope this !
