Triangle ABC has coordinates A(1, 4); B(3, –2); and C(4, 2). Find the coordinates of the image A'B'C' after a reflection over the x-axis
this was so long ago LMFAO
To find the image of each point after a reflection over the x-axis, we need to negate the y-coordinate of each point. Here's how to do it step by step:
1. Start with the coordinates of point A: A(1, 4).
Negate the y-coordinate, so A' will have the coordinates (1, -4).
2. Move on to the coordinates of point B: B(3, -2).
Negate the y-coordinate, so B' will have the coordinates (3, 2).
3. Finally, consider the coordinates of point C: C(4, 2).
Negate the y-coordinate, so C' will have the coordinates (4, -2).
Therefore, the coordinates of the image triangle A'B'C' after a reflection over the x-axis are A'(1, -4), B'(3, 2), and C'(4, -2).
