So I’m doing reflection rules and I need to know how you use reflection rules written in coordinate notation to determine the vertices of the image

Respuesta :

To find the vertices of an image after reflecting over the x-axis, change the sign of the y-coordinate. For a reflection over the y-axis, change the sign of the x-coordinate. Apply these rules to each vertex of the original shape.

Let's say you have a triangle with vertices A(2, 3), B(4, 1), and C(1, 5). If you want to find the image of the triangle after a reflection over the x-axis, you apply the reflection rule to each vertex:

A'(2,−3)

B'(4,−1)

C'(1,−5)
