Assume there are 100 million passenger cars in the. united states and that the average fuel consumption is. 20 mi/gal of gasoline. if the average distance traveled) by each car is 10 000 mi/yr, how much gasoline would be saved per year if average fuel consumption could be increased to 25 mi/gal?

question says to graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x'y'z'.

we know that line y=x has both coordinates equal like (1,1), (5,5) etc so we can easily graph that reflecting line.

description of transformation:

we can see that x and y coordinate gets switched after transformation like (2,8) changed to (8,2)

what do you notice about the two line segments you drew:

we see that line segments xp and x'p are of same length and perpendicular to the reflecting line y=x.

do you think you would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line? :

yes, 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.

how do you know? :

by measuring the length of yk and y'k.
