triangle abc is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected triangle? Describe in words what happens to the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original triangle's vertices as a result of this reflection?
A = 1,3 B = 4,5 C = 3,1
(x,y) -> (-x,y)
so, just change the sign of the x-coordinates.
can i please get the answers? can i PLEASE get the answers?
@Steve BE MORE SPECIFIC WE CANNOT READ YOUR MIND!!! If you wanna help someone be more specific nobody can read minds! We are not super naturals...
pls i need the answer
To find the coordinates of the reflected triangle, you need to negate the x-coordinates of each vertex while keeping the y-coordinates the same.
For triangle ABC, the original coordinates are:
A = (1, 3)
B = (4, 5)
C = (3, 1)
Reflecting triangle ABC over the y-axis means that it is mirrored across the vertical line passing through the origin.
To reflect a point over the y-axis, you negate the x-coordinate and keep the y-coordinate the same.
For triangle ABC:
The reflected coordinates are:
A' = (-1, 3)
B' = (-4, 5)
C' = (-3, 1)
As a result of this reflection, the x-coordinates of the original triangle's vertices are negated (or multiplied by -1), while the y-coordinates remain unchanged. In other words, the reflection causes the points to switch sides, with respect to the y-axis. The distance between each point and the y-axis remains the same.
