Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.

Graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x’y’z’. describe the transformation using words. draw a line segment from point x to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point x’ to the reflecting line. what do you notice about the two line segments you drew? do you think you would see the same characteristics if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y’ with the reflecting line? how do you know?
