2. Reflections
Sign In
Reflected points are the same distance from opposite sides of the line of reflection.
Graph:
Vertices: H'(1,3), I'(1,- 1), J'(- 2,- 2), K'(-2,2)
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our parallelogram.
| Preimage HIJK | Image H'I'J'K' | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex | Distance From the y-axis | Vertex | Distance From the y-axis |
| H(- 1,3) | 1 unit left the y-axis | H'(1,3) | 1 unit right the y-axis |
| I(-1,-1) | 1 unit left the y-axis | I'(1,- 1) | 1 unit right the y-axis |
| J(2,-2) | 2 units right the y-axis | J'(-2,- 2) | 2 units left the y-axis |
| K(2,2) | 2 units right the y-axis | K'(-2,2) | 2 units left the y-axis |
Let's do the reflection!
