May I help?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you. What do you think? Any ideas?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

I think it's a reflection

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, you are correct! But a reflection followed by upward translation! Do you know reflection about which axis?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

The y-axis

OpenStudy (3mar):

Good! After that how many steps up?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Um.. 1?

OpenStudy (3mar):

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)

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

y = 4

OpenStudy (3mar):

I think it still y=3 as the change occurred in the x-coordinate not y-coordinate!

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Oh okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

got it?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So the type of transformation is a reflection over the y-axis and not a rotation or a translation?

OpenStudy (3mar):

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?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Yes

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

vertical reflection?

OpenStudy (3mar):

then... what happen to the vertex Y(-5,3) (after the reflection) to be Y'(-5,6)?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

The vertex moves up 3 steps?

OpenStudy (3mar):

\[\Huge\color{lime}\checkmark\] then you mean that (x,y)>>>(x,y+3) am I right?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Yeah

OpenStudy (3mar):

I hope you got the idea! Are you satisfied?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

What should write for the answer?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Divide it into two portions: A: reflection ..... and describe it B: transition ..... and describe it!

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So \[\Lambda XYZ \] experinced a horizontal reflection over the line y=3

OpenStudy (3mar):

a horizontal reflection over the line x=0 (the y-axis)

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

I put that as the answer?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, as part A! and mention the rule of this reflection: Reflection across y-axis: (x,y) >>>> (-x, y)

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Part b the orgin took 3 steps up?

OpenStudy (3mar):

"orgin "?????????

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

vertex

OpenStudy (3mar):

the "reflected" vertex,,, you mean

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So I put that in for the answer?

OpenStudy (3mar):

and don't forget to mention the rule of this translation too! \[(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y+3)\] right?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

OKay

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Thanks for the help

OpenStudy (3mar):

Don't mention it! That is with my pleasure! Thank you for learning! +Thank you for the medal! by the way!

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Why are you so nice?

OpenStudy (3mar):

This question is the only one I can't answer! This is not included in the syllabus.... ;)
