the vertices of a triangle are p(-7 -4), q(-7 -8), and r (3 -3). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the line y=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just flip the values of the x and y. so point p would be (-4, -7), q would be (-8, -7) and r would be (-3,3). The key to this solution would be to find that for any x value you plug in you get the same y value. However, you want it to be reflected across which means that you need to take the inverse of the function. Hope this helps!

Do you think you could help me with a few more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sure, but try to make it fast as I need to sleep please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the vertices of a triangle are a(-6, -4), b(-3,5), and c(1,-1). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When reflecting on the x-axis, the y-value would be negative as you are taking it down below. Therefore, to get all of these solutions you would need to take the opposite values of the y coordinate. This would make a (-6, 4) and b (-3,-5) and c(1,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are reflecting across the y-axis you would take the opposite of the x-value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you are more than welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 2 more is that okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yupp lets get them! post them both please so I can tackle them all at once.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The vertices of a triangle are p(-2, -4), q(2,-5), and r (-1,-8). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the y-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the opposite of the x-axis. so p(2, -4), q(-2,-5) and r would be (1,-8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the image of O(-2,-1) after two refections, first across the line y=5, and then across the line x=1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give me a minute please, I took this so long ago.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no youre fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it! To do this you will need to subtract the y = 5 from the x and the x=1 from y-value. This means that the x would be 5-(-2) = 7 and the x would be 1-(-1) = 2 so the point would be (7, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have an extremely good night and please don't forget to fan me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D; that isnt an option...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what options do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abbi5169

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay i got it! thank you so much for helping
