2. Reflections
Sign In
Reflected points are the same distance from opposite sides of the line of reflection.
Graph:
Vertices: D'(- 1,0), E'(- 1,- 5), F'(- 4,- 1), G'(- 3,2)
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our quadrilateral.
| Preimage DEFG | Image D'E'F'G' | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex | Distance From the y-axis | Vertex | Distance From the y-axis |
| D(1,0) | 1 unit right the y-axis | D'(- 1,0) | 1 unit left the y-axis |
| E(1,- 5) | 1 unit right the y-axis | E'(- 1,- 5) | 1 unit left the y-axis |
| F(4,- 1) | 4 units right the y-axis | F'(- 4,- 1) | 4 units left the y-axis |
| G(3,2) | 3 units right the y-axis | G'(- 3,2) | 3 units left the y-axis |
Let's do the reflection!
