Answer 1

(a – c, c)
(c, a)
(a + c, b)
(c, b)

Answer 2

Hint:

Answer 3

Ya, I saw like this exact thing on my math notes I took but Im confused. I think the letters are throwing me off XD

Answer 4

Another hint:

the point P is exactly level with the point (a,b), so the y coordinate of P is b

so...

P = (x,b)

all you need to do is figure out what replaces the 'x' in terms of a, b, or c

Answer 5

Is it (c. a?

Answer 6

close

Answer 7

but notice how the x coordinate of the point (a,b) is x = a

Answer 8

if you start at x = a and you walk c units to the right, where do you end up?

Answer 9

p

Answer 10

yes, but ignore P for a sec

Answer 11

then b right?
