Can someone help me with Geometry? Graph a triangle (LMN) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle L'M'N'. Part 1: Describe the transformation using words. (3 points) Part 2: Draw a line segment from point L to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point L' to the reflecting line. What do you notice about the two line segments you drew? (2 points) Part 3: Do you think you would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting M with the reflecting line and then M' with the reflecting line? How do you know? (3 points)
I'm very confused after the first part
just a sec
Alright, thnx!
that's the rawing for second parrt. |dw:1418673738357:dw|
Can you guide me through it?
But it's reflected in y=x... meaning that it would be reflected diagonal...
sorry just a sec then I will redo it
|dw:1418673904697:dw|
the line segments you need to draw are congruent and make up line LL'.
the same thing is with other points.

Lol @Secret-Ninja, I really need you :P I jus need a guide :P
@dtuniyants, thanks but i feel like you're not sure what you're doing
ok
Thnx tho :)
the line segments from other points have the same characteristics, because corresponding point of the triangle and reflected triangle lie on same distance from the reflected line.
@Secret-Ninja we need your confirming on this question
@Angel_Bear19
I haven't a clue! sorry!
Give me a minute to read this. :]
I think its right. :)
You just need part 3
What should I write? SO far I got this...
Part 1: The coordinates for LMN are: L = (1, 3) M = (1, 1) N = (4, 2) The points for the reflected triangle L'M'N' are: L' = (-1, -3) M' = (-1, -1) N' = (-4, -2)
Is it good?
Next I need part 2... can you help?
For part two I would just say that the lines connect and are straight because it was flipped at a 180 degree angle.
Should I write that?
Yes, that sounds good :) What about part 3?
