Solve for m: m-5/8=-1/4

M-5/8 = -1/4

Add 5/8 to both sides:

M = -1/4 + 5/8

Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator

-1/4 = -2/8

Now you have m = -2/8 + 5/8

M = 3/8

The answer is 0.375 (3/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the M is subtracted by 5/8, you add 5/8 to both sides of the equation to get the M by itself and -1/4+5/8 equals 0.375, or 3/8

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think 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 because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
