Find the coordinates of the image after a reflection in the given line:
{1, 3, -2} {1, 9, 5} Where y=-x
(it's a matrix again) @jim_thompson5910
so it looks like you're reflecting (1,1), (3,9) and (-2,5) over the line y = -x
Is there a rule for that?
let me look
ok to reflect over y = x means you simply swap x and y (x,y) ----> (y,x) to reflect over y = -x, we swap x and y but we follow these added rules * if the point is originally in Q1, then it moves to Q3 * if the point is originally in Q2, then it stays in Q2 * if the point is originally in Q3, then it moves to Q1 * if the point is originally in Q4, then it stays in Q4
so for example (2,1) turns into (-1,-2) 1 and 2 swapped places. I made the coordinates negative because (2,1) is in Q1, so it moves to Q3 where everything is negative
Okay so would it be: {-1, -9, -5} {-1, -3, 2}
that is correct
Thank you! I have one last one :)
