Question

Trapezoid TUVW is shown on the coordinate plane below: If trapezoid T'U'V'W' represents trapezoid TUVW reflected over the y-axis, the ordered pair of W' is ___________. (Note: You must include parentheses, a comma, and a space after the comma when typing the ordered pair.)

Answer for Blank 1:

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

So you're reflecting the shape over `y-axis`

Answer 3

remember the rule for reflection over `y-axis` ?

Answer 4

um is it y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis something like that

Answer 5

so W is at (2, 3) because it's at 2 on the x axis and 3 on the y axis.

Answer 6

nope,

rule for reflection over y axis :
`(x, y) --> (-x, y) `

Answer 7

Look at the diagram once,
what are the coordinates of W ?

Answer 8

-2,3 right ?

Answer 9

look straight above the point W,
do u see `-6` ?

Answer 10

look straight right of the point W,
do u see `-4` ?

Answer 11

So coordinates of W are (-6, -4)

Answer 12

yess i see it oh so all you do is flip it to the other side cause its a reflection right?

Answer 13

Exactly, so what do u get after flipping to the other side ?

Answer 14

rule for reflection over y axis :
`(x, y) --> (-x, y) `

so

(-6, -4) --> ?

Answer 15

i get it now i see the picture!
