May I help?
Yes
Thank you. What do you think? Any ideas?
I think it's a reflection
Yes, you are correct! But a reflection followed by upward translation! Do you know reflection about which axis?
The y-axis
Good! After that how many steps up?
Um.. 1?
After the reflection, what is the new coordinates of the point y -for example? ------------------- Hint: These are kinds of reflections: Reflection across x-axis: (x, y) > (x, -y) Reflection across y-axis: (x,y) > (-x, y) Reflection over origin: (x,y) > (-x,-y) Reflection over line y=-x: (x,y) > (-y,-x)
y = 4
I think it still y=3 as the change occurred in the x-coordinate not y-coordinate!
Oh okay
got it?
So the type of transformation is a reflection over the y-axis and not a rotation or a translation?
Yes, that is for the first transformation...just a reflection about the y-axis, and the rule of it is: Reflection across y-axis: (x,y) > (-x, y) so (5,3)>>>>(-5,3) Did you get the idea?
Yes
vertical reflection?
then... what happen to the vertex Y(-5,3) (after the reflection) to be Y'(-5,6)?
The vertex moves up 3 steps?
\[\Huge\color{lime}\checkmark\] then you mean that (x,y)>>>(x,y+3) am I right?
Yeah
I hope you got the idea! Are you satisfied?
What should write for the answer?
Divide it into two portions: A: reflection ..... and describe it B: transition ..... and describe it!
So \[\Lambda XYZ \] experinced a horizontal reflection over the line y=3
a horizontal reflection over the line x=0 (the y-axis)
I put that as the answer?
Yes, as part A! and mention the rule of this reflection: Reflection across y-axis: (x,y) >>>> (-x, y)
Part b the orgin took 3 steps up?
"orgin "?????????
vertex
the "reflected" vertex,,, you mean
So I put that in for the answer?
and don't forget to mention the rule of this translation too! \[(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y+3)\] right?
OKay
Thanks for the help
Don't mention it! That is with my pleasure! Thank you for learning! +Thank you for the medal! by the way!
Why are you so nice?
This question is the only one I can't answer! This is not included in the syllabus.... ;)
