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 the y coordinates of the original triangle's vertices as a result of this reflection.
Explaination... good and finally. Answering questions always need to be explained properly. Finally I found a page that does. Good for you. For once I am not writing with a sarcastic tone.
your mother loves you? <3
no - it depends on where they started.
So if they started as a positive number then you would change them to negtive
Thx Steve
thank you for your help
To find the coordinates of the reflected triangle, we need to understand what happens to the x and y coordinates of the original triangle's vertices when it is reflected over the y-axis.
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, its x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate stays the same.
Let's say the original triangle ABC has coordinates A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3).
To find the coordinates of the reflected triangle A'B'C', we need to change the sign of the x-coordinate of each vertex while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
The coordinates of the reflected triangle, A'B'C', would be A'(-x1, y1), B'(-x2, y2), and C'(-x3, y3).
In words, the x coordinates of the original triangle's vertices become their negatives in the reflected triangle, while the y coordinates remain unchanged.
