Line segment cd has a length of 3 units. it is translated 2 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment c’d. what is the length of c’d.

C'D'=3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The translation of a segment does not modify its length

so

The length of the segment CD and the length of the segment C'D' are equal

therefore

C'D'=3 units

Verify

Let

The coordinate of point C equal to x1 and the coordinate of point D equal to x2

so

The length of segment CD is equal to

CD=x2-x1=3

The rule of the translation is

x > x+2

The new coordinates will be

C'=x1+2

D'=x2+2

The length of segment C'D' is equal to

(x2+2)-(x1+2)=(x2-x1)=3 units

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
