GEOMETRY HELP PLEASE ASAP AND THANK YOU!!!!!!

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

Graph a triangle (XYZ) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle X'Y'Z'. Describe the transformation using words. Draw a line segment from point X to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point X' 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 Y with the reflecting line and then Y' with the reflecting line? How do you know?

hey! I need with is

OpenStudy (phi):

It sounds like they want you to use graph paper and plot some points that make a triangle.

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

witch I have graph paper but I don't get this question and can you help me lead me to the answer for this?!

OpenStudy (phi):

first graph y=x by plotting (0,0) and (1,1) and drawing a line through them

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

alright got that

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, next pick 3 points that are below the y=x line (so you can make a triangle) what 3 points are you going to use ?

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

A,B,C

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, but we need (x,y) coords for A, B and C

OpenStudy (phi):

can you pick x and y numbers for the 3 points?
