Connect the new vertices to draw the image of the given figure.
Let's do it!
Step 1
We will begin by plotting the given vertices and graphing the figure. Since the given reflection is R_(y -axis), we will identify the y -axis as the line of reflection.
Step 2
Now, we will locate the image of each vertex so that the y -axis is the perpendicular bisector of the segment between the vertex and its image. The distance between the image vertex and the y -axis must be the same as the distance between the preimage vertex and the y -axis. This is shown for vertex A below.
Step 3
Finally, we can connect the new vertices to draw the reflection image of the given figure.
