Exercise 5 Page 553

We are given three vertices of △ JKL. To graph the triangle, let's plot the points and then connect them.

To find the images of the points reflected in the x-axis, we can use the coordinate rule. Two points reflected in the x-axis have opposite y-coordinates.

(a,b)	(a,- b)
J(1,3)	J'(1, -3)
K(4,4)	K'(4, -4)
L(3,1)	L'(3, -1)

Now we can graph the image of △ JKL after a reflection in the x-axis.
