WILL FAN AND MEDAL! A line segment has endpoints at (–1, 4) and (4, 1). Which reflection will produce an image with endpoints at (–4, 1) and (–1, –4)? a reflection of the line segment across the x-axis a reflection of the line segment across the y-axis a reflection of the line segment across the line y = x a reflection of the line segment across the line y = –x

OpenStudy (lab):

What do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea.

OpenStudy (lab):

Maybe c

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

What about those two is different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldn't the last one be in a different place?

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

oops yeah, my bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i drew it on a coordinate plane off the web, i just don't know what the last two reflections look like.

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

Let's start with x in (x,y). so -1 and -4.

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

-1 and -4 as well as 4 and -1. (-1, y) and (-4, y) (4, y) and (-1, y)

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

How did 4 go over to -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it went across the y axis?

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

Correct, but -1 did not cross the y-axis to become -4. Therefore, we can eliminate that it crossed the x and y axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, it's not a or b?

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it C?

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

I'm going with D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then i'll go with that. Thank you.

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

Ooo I have two medals! Wait who's the second one from? No problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think someone else gave it to you, haha.
