A landscape architect designs a flower bed that is a quadrilateral, as shown in the figure. The plans call for a light to be placed at the midpoint of the longest side of the flower bed. The architect decides to change the location of the flower bed using the transformation (x, y) → (x, -y) . Describe the location of the light in the transformed flower bed. Then make the required calculations to show that your prediction is correct.

i believe it's a.

i'm not sure on this one, most likely correct.

hello umm i don't understand your question can you explain it more pls

step-by-step explanation:

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
