It makes a capital h
To determine the shape that the mowing machine would make given the instructions, let's plot the points on a graph and connect them according to the instructions.
1. Start at (–7, 7) and lower the blade.
2. Cut to (–7, 1) while keeping the blade lowered.
3. Raise the blade.
4. Go to (–4, 7) and lower the blade.
5. Cut to (–4, 1) while keeping the blade lowered.
6. Raise the blade.
7. Go to (–7, 4) and lower the blade.
8. Cut to (–4, 4) while keeping the blade lowered.
9. Raise the blade.
Now, let's plot these points on a graph:
-7,7 | -6,7 | -5,7 | -4,7
-7,6 | -6,6 | -5,6 | -4,6
-7,5 | -6,5 | -5,5 | -4,5
-7,4 | -6,4 | -5,4 | -4,4
-7,3 | -6,3 | -5,3 | -4,3
-7,2 | -6,2 | -5,2 | -4,2
-7,1 | -6,1 | -5,1 | -4,1
Now, let's connect the points according to the instructions:
Starting from (–7,7):
- Move to (-7,1) while keeping the blade lowered.
- Raise the blade.
- Move to (-4,7) and lower the blade.
- Move to (-4,1) while keeping the blade lowered.
- Raise the blade.
Plotting these lines onto the graph, we can see that the mowing machine creates a shape that looks like the letter "H".
Therefore, the answer is B. H.
