3 QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSFORMATIONS!!!
Which translation rule describes the translation that is 6 units to the right and 5 units down. a. (x, y) (x + 6, y – 5) b. (x, y) (x – 6, y –5) c. (x, y) (x + 6, y + 5) d. (x, y) (x – 6, y + 5)
@Loser66 @zepdrix
b
yes b is correct
Okay. Next question Write a rule to describe the transformation that is a reflection across the y-axis. a. (x, y) --> (x, –y) b. (x, y) --> (–x, y) c. (x, y) --> (–x, –y) d. (x, y) --> (y, x)
And B is not correct @lilshane and @TaigaA its A
b was my best answer
@confluxepic please help me
If it's a reflection across the y-axis then the x-coordinates would be multiplied by -1. If it's a reflection across the x-axis then the y-coordinates would be multiplied by -1.
@ayyookyndall
This might help too. http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gt1/reflect.htm
I think it talks about the problem ahead.. So I think the answer is A
@confluxepic
The first or the second?
The first question is correct, right?
Nope.
B is wrong for the first.
Whaat? How so?
I said A though for the first question...
Then it's right. I saw that other people said B and you went with them.
If you really think A then it's good.
No, I told both of them they are wrong. lol
And for the second question its A too, correct?
No.
So its correct?
How so?
It wouldn't be A. Read this. \(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @confluxepic If it's a reflection across the y-axis then the x-coordinates would be multiplied by -1. If it's a reflection across the x-axis then the y-coordinates would be multiplied by -1. \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
So its D?
Since we have to reflect across the y-axis you would multiply x by -1.
What? How'd you get D?
Sorry, another girl helped me on this and we got D. I thought she was wrong.
So we have (x, y). We multiply x by -1. It would become (x(-1), y). What is (x)(-1)?
Oh, I get it, it would be B...
@TheSmartOne Am I doing it correct?
Yes. @ayyookyndall
B would be right.
Like i said B was my best answer i go with what my gut tells me i came up with b. (x, y) (x – 6, y –5) and it was wrong i probably put everything together the wrong way..
Everyone makes mistakes anyways i don't see what's wrong there then. Goodbye have a nice day everyone :D
You had to do x+6. @TaigaA
Alright thank you, have a nice rest of the day @confluxepic
You too.
