2. Reflections
Sign In
Reflected points are the same distance from opposite sides of the line of reflection.
Graph:
Vertices: A'(2,- 4), B'(-2,- 4), C'(-2,- 8), D'(2,- 8)
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our square.
| Preimage ABCD | Image A'B'C'D' | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex | Distance From the x-axis | Vertex | Distance From the x-axis |
| A(2,4) | 4 units above the x-axis | A'(2,-4) | 4 units below the x-axis |
| B(-2,4) | 4 units above the x-axis | B'(-2,- 4) | 4 units below the x-axis |
| C(-2,8) | 8 units above the x-axis | C'(-2,- 8) | 8 units below the x-axis |
| D(2,8) | 8 units above the x-axis | D'(2,- 8) | 8 units below the x-axis |
Let's do the reflection!
