What set of reflections would carry hexagon ABCDEF onto itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select one: a. x-axis, y=x, x-axis, y=x b. y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis c. y-axis, x-axis, y-axis d. x-axis, y-axis, y-axis

@AllTehMaffs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you guys think its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can't do this in my head, one sec..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My brain might have stopped working. What does y=x mean? swap coordinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure actually... I just know that there has to be 4 terms... so I think its between A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed it's one of those two - C and D don't work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B doesn't male sense either because you cant go over the y twice in a row

OpenStudy (yttrium):

A and B are same sets huh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I personally think its A...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and b aren't the same sets because you cant go over the Y twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. y=x means reflecting over the line y=x

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yeah, I think that's what it meant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is the answer A still

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer has to be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so, yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B are the same... one sec...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Yttrium do you think its A also.. a and b aren't the same

OpenStudy (yttrium):

How do they become different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, B is mirrored. A is correct. With B , C would be where F is originally

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think about it and look at the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right that's what I thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is A the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

methinks yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Yttrium Since the first operation in B is to slip over the diagonal, C ends up on the far right side. Then a x flip keeps it there, another diagonal puts C at x=0 then it flips around the y so C stays at x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry - that explanation is terribly written.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just think its a ill just go with that answer thnx..... I have one more ok
