2. Reflections
Sign In
Two points reflected in the y-axis have opposite x-coordinates.
We are given three vertices of â–³ JKL. To graph the triangle, let's plot the points and then connect them.
| (a,b) | (- a, b) |
|---|---|
| J(5,3) | J'( -5,3) |
| K(1,-2) | K'( -1,-2) |
| L(-3,4) | L'( 3,4) |
Now we can graph the image of â–³ JKL after a reflection in the y-axis.
