mrbilldoesmath!

answer: a parabola

steps:

(x-1)(x+4)   = x(x+4) - 1(x+4) = (x^2 + 4x) - (x+4)

                = x^2 +4x -x -4   = x^2 +3x -4

which is a parabola

the answer is c.) yes, [triangle]klp can be reflected across the line containing [line]kp and then translated so that p is mapped to m.

the reason is this:

looking at the triangles visually we can see they share the same features. using rigid transfromations we can reflect it over [line]kp then all we need to do is translate up.
