Answer 4

i think the first one

Answer 5

Hopefully cuz idk how to reflect it

Answer 6

no. P is (-3,-1) and then it needs to be reflected

Answer 7

but where do i reflect it. I get confused since the shape is in the middle

Answer 8

plz help i dont have much time

Answer 11

First you need to determine the coordinates of point P from the coordinates of L, M and N.

Answer 12

that would be -3,-1

Answer 13

Actually from the figure it does not look like LMN complete to form a rectangle for any value of P. But they can form a parallelogram, though.

Answer 14

so what do i do now? i dont know where to reflect it since its in the middle

Answer 15

Any point (x, y) when reflected in the y-axis gives you the point (-x, y).

Answer 16

So P(-3, -1) reflected gives P`(3, -1)

Answer 17

so it would be here

Answer 18

That is correct :)

Answer 19

So the answer is g
