Question

Graph a triangle (LMN) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle L'M'N'. Describe the transformation using words. 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? 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?

Answer 4

have you tried drawing it?

Answer 5

no, I'm confused on where to plot it

Answer 6

it doesn't matter, it just says to draw any triangle LMN

Answer 7

okay, do i just pick any numbers and use those?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Okay, but what does this mean "Describe the transformation using words"

Answer 10

describe what happens to the triangle after you reflect it across y= x

Answer 11

So I must draw a graph and plot it out?

Answer 12

@hartnn Help!

Answer 13

yes.

Answer 14

pick three points, draw a triangle

Answer 15

Okay

Answer 16

L = (1, 3)
M = (1, 1)
N = (4, 2)
I picked those

Answer 17

good, now plot them on a graph

Answer 18

Alright

Answer 19

now what

Answer 20

reflect the points across the line y = x

Answer 21

okay I think i'm understanding it

Answer 22

hint:

to reflect the point (x,y) across the y-axis, switch the x and y-coordinates

example: (5,4) becomes (4,5)

Answer 23

so, if L = (1,3), L' = ?

Answer 24

would there be any negitives?
(3.1)

Answer 25

nope, that's right

Answer 26

And do that will all three of them?

Answer 27

so L' is (3,1). draw this point and label it L' (don't forget the dash)

Answer 28

yes, do all three

Answer 29

Which part of the graph would it go on? l

Answer 30

Would it stay in the same square?

Answer 31

yes

Answer 32

Oh alright

Answer 33

@Nnesha need to run for a bit

Answer 34

they would over lap?

Answer 35

I plotted it and they over lap, is that okay?

@rishavraj

Answer 39

Would you mind attaching the graph were you plotted?

Answer 40

**where you plotted ?

Answer 41

I drew it on paper. I'm new to open study and don't know how to draw it on here.

Answer 42

@scary_bunny76 well, try this link: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/548f3e4ee4b04ed7d6b5ae1b

Hope it helps.

Answer 43

draw points on this graph

Answer 44

that's LMN now draw point L'M'N' just like voc told u to do it
reflect across y =x
