May somebody help me on this question please. Kim performed a transformation on triangle ABC to create triangle A'B'C' as shown in the figure below:
What transformation did Kim perform to create triangle A'B'C'? Reflection across the x-axis Rotation of 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin Reflection across the y-axis Rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin
Did a reflection or rotation take place?
It looks like a reflection
correct (notice how the orientation is flipped)
to go from A to B to C, you go counter clockwise but to go from A' to B' to C', you're going the opposite way: clockwise so that's what I mean by "orientation is flipped"
whenever you have orientation reversed, you're going to have a reflection (since everything is backwards)
so you need to find out which line you're reflecting over
So in this case the answer would be C
@jim_thompson5910
draw an xy axis and label them |dw:1400099655867:dw|
|dw:1400099671141:dw|
Ohh so its A because it reflected itself that way @jim_thompson5910
yes that is correct
