Question

Can someone be nice enough to help me please

Answer 1

Transformation figure A B C 6 units right and 8 units down. Then Reflect it over the line y= -x

Answer 2

@mathmale

Answer 3

Did you actually draw the line y=-x and then reflect the figure across that line as instructed?

Answer 4

like that ?

Answer 5

@mathmale

Answer 6

Yes, that's good. My next question: Did you actually reflect any figure in the line y=-x?

Please note that one of your figures has four sides, whereas the other has only three. That can't be right.

Answer 7

what can't be right ?

Answer 8

You began with a triangle (ABC) and ended up with a quadrilateral (four-sided figure).

Answer 9

no thats a different one i have to do

Answer 10

I have to rotate that one 180 degrees about the origin

Answer 11

that's why I had to ask for clarification! One problem at a time, please.

In regard to the triangle, tell me again what you have to do with it.

Answer 12

I don't know how to rotate it sadly

Answer 13

Please focus on ONE problem. Which will it be? Triangle or quadrilateral?

Answer 14

quadrilateral

Answer 15

OK. Take a pencil and cross out the triangle. We will not use it at all while talking about the quadrilateral.

Answer 16

What were you supposed to do with the quadrilateral?

Answer 17

okay

Answer 18

but I don't have the paper my friend send it to me

Answer 19

I'm sorry, I really am having trouble helping you ... if you post two problems at the same time and don't distinguish between them, and if you don't have the instructions for the problem.

It might be better if you quit now and repost your question after you've gotten the full illustration and full instructions from your teacher.

Answer 20

Ugh... THIS kind of question. They tend to get me dizzy~
haha
But... if you're on board, @wintersuntime
Maybe we can sort this out.

Are you still here?

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

Okay. Let's work on the triangle first.
Now, I'm terrible at drawing, so first, I want you to identify the VERTICES of the triangle ABC
As in, what are the coordinates of points A, B, and C. Can you do that?

Answer 23

B (2,1) A(1,8) C(-2,3) ??

Answer 24

I'm so dumb at this

Answer 25

You know that's not true ^^
You are perfectly capable of understanding this, and if you don't understand it now, I'll help you out :)

Now, we're going to transform this triangle by transforming its vertices.
As in, change their coordinates.
I believe the first instruction was to move it 6 units right.
You know how to do that?

Answer 26

thanks c: and I think I do

Answer 27

we move 6 units right and down 8?

Answer 28

Transformation in a nutshell:
\[\Large \left.\begin{matrix}\text{Old Point} & \text{New Point}\\ (\color{red}x , \color{blue}y) & (??? , ???)\end{matrix} \right.\]

Answer 29

Well anyway, transformation, as its name suggests, transforms a point into another point.
following a certain rule.

So, how do you move a point six units to the right?

Answer 30

You have to go to the point of any letter so I went to the point of A and then moved it 6 units right and 8 units down

Answer 31

something like that ? I got that

Answer 32

Well yes, we could do that, but let's forget the drawing first, and focus on the points.
Because they're more systematic, if you know what I mean. And a LOT easier to write :P

I'll get you started. To transform a point by MOVING IT SIX UNITS TO THE RIGHT, you simply ADD 6 to the x-coordinate.
Like so:

Six Units to the Right:
\[\Large \left.\begin{matrix}\text{Old Point} & \text{New Point}\\ (\color{red}x , \color{blue}y) & (\color{red}{x+6} ,\color{blue}y)\end{matrix} \right.\]
So what happens to points:
A(1,8)
B(2,1)
C(-3,3)
?

Answer 33

Come on~ just add 6 to all the x-coordinates. The ones on the left ^^
For instance, the new point A (let's call that A') is
A'(7,8)

So what about B' and C'?

Answer 34

okay I got it thanks for helping me

Answer 35

It's not yet finished. But if you're sure... then okay
