The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( m \) and \( n \) given the reflection of the point \((-6, n+2)\) in the origin results in the point \((m+3, -4)\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reflection in Origin**: When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected in the origin, its coordinates change to \((-x, -y)\). 2. **Applying Reflection to the Given Point**: For the point \((-6, n+2)\): - The x-coordinate after reflection will be \(-(-6) = 6\). - The y-coordinate after reflection will be \(- (n + 2) = -n - 2\). Therefore, the reflected point is \((6, -n - 2)\). 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: We know that this reflected point \((6, -n - 2)\) is equal to the point \((m + 3, -4)\). Hence, we can set up the following equations: - \( m + 3 = 6 \) - \( -n - 2 = -4 \) 4. **Solving for \( m \)**: From the first equation: \[ m + 3 = 6 \] Subtracting 3 from both sides: \[ m = 6 - 3 = 3 \] 5. **Solving for \( n \)**: From the second equation: \[ -n - 2 = -4 \] Adding 2 to both sides: \[ -n = -4 + 2 \] Simplifying: \[ -n = -2 \] Multiplying both sides by -1: \[ n = 2 \] 6. **Final Values**: Thus, the values of \( m \) and \( n \) are: \[ m = 3, \quad n = 2 \] ### Summary: The values are \( m = 3 \) and \( n = 2 \).
