Triangle 2 is a reflection of triangle 1. Triangle 1 has coordinates A (1, 5), B (3, 5) and C (1, 2). Triangle 2 has coordinates A' (5, 1), B' (5, 3) and C' (2, 1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which line is triangle 1 reflected over?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y axis or x axis??

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

It isn't reflected over one of the axes. If you graph the points, you can kind of get an idea of where the line would be.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

You could also consider the fact that when you reflect a point over a line of symmetry, it remains at an equal distance from the line and also that the segment formed is perpendicular to that line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=y

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

Yes, that would be the line. :) (Usually I see it stated as y=x, which is just the same thing written backwards)

@AccessDenied Thanks for your help :)

You're welcome. :)
