Help! Fan and medal for best answer! Please hold on while I attach the image. Triangle ABC below is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 1 unit right and 2 units down. a) Write the coordinates of the vertices of the image after reflection. b) Write a rule for the translation. Use narrow notation. c) Write the coordinates of the vertices of the new image after translation.

That's the image

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

A= (1, 3) B= (4, 5) C= (3, 1) right?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

now reflection over y-axis , means keep all y co-ordinates same, and flip the sign of all x co-ordinates. (x,y)→(−x,y)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so A' = (-1, 3) B' = (-4, 5) c' = (-3, 1) yes or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes sid is correct

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

Now we have to move them 1 to the right so we should add 1 to all the x coordinates.and the new coordinates will be= A'= (0, 3) B'(-3, 5) C'(-2, 1). do u get it so far??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sidsiddhartha is that part a,b, and c?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

part (a) A' = (-1, 3) B' = (-4, 5) c' = (-3, 1) part (b) here u have to use the arrow notation so\[(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I got that part

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

and for part(c) we have to move them 1 to the right so we should add 1 to all the x coordinates.and the new coordinates will be= A'= (0, 3) B'(-3, 5) C'(-2, 1).

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

then we have to move them down two so we should make each y value 2 less. so now they will be A'= (0, 1) B'= (-3, 3) C'= (-2, -1) that's all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So part C is A'= (0, 1) B'= (-3, 3) C'= (-2, -1)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u can also use a arrow notation for patr (c) like this (A', B')-->(x+1, y-2) yup that's ur answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank u
